Found this peice of code to study.

Seeing it's semi-undocumented and the first peice of FPGA im trying to implement, I was wondering If anyone could share some pointers. It's a MIDI input, so it basically takes 8 bit binary numbers...

There website www.midi.org has further information and example schematics for old school MIDI interfaces. Looks like the input is a current loop into an optoisolater. The isolator output goes to a uart. As I recall the uart baud rate isn't one of the standard ones.
