I'd also like to mention that MIDI 1.0 runs on a 31250 baud/s com link. This requires a balance between precision and throughput. The bandwidth gets pretty tight with CC messages interleaved with clock and SYSEX (sample dumps, patch/pattern updates), that in a DIY sequencer, we have to do pendulum SYSEX updates to avoid disrupting the timing. Care to elaborate the DX7 sysex? Most newer manufacturers have a long ID so the header already goes like F0 00 20 3C 02 00 ...... F7
