# MIDIDriverKit

Develop drivers for MIDI devices.

## Overview

Overview Use the MIDIDriverKit framework to implement a MIDI driver extension that communicates with Core MIDI. The framework handles all user-client communication between your driver extension and the Core MIDI server so you don’t need to implement a MIDI driver plug-in. You can also leverage other transport-based driver extension frameworks, such as USBDriverKit, in your implementation.
