+Artifically Generated Data
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This data was generated by hand based off of various specifications:
+
+ - "The Complete MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification" version 96.1
+ - "General MIDI System Level 1" revision 4
+ - "General MIDI 2" version 1.2a
+
+
+Logic analyzer setup

+
+Data
+----
+
+The data was initially created as CSV files with one column composed of only
+1s and 0s of UART data. These CSV files were then imported into sigrok's GUI,
+PulseView. When importing the CSV files, the samplerate was set to 100000
+(i.e. 100kHz). Each byte value was visually verified for correctness.
+The data was then resaved as *.sr files.
+
+Since MIDI communicates at 31250 bits/sec in 8N1 format, each byte of UART
+data used 37 rows of data in the CSV file when using a sampling rate of
+100kHz. Listed from top to bottom, the rows in the CSV for each byte were:
+
+ 1. Three rows of "1" as padding before the bits
+ 2. Three rows of "0" as the start bit
+ 3. Three rows of the data bytes bit0 (lsb)
+ 4. Three rows of the data bytes bit1
+ 5. Three rows of the data bytes bit2
+ 6. Four rows of the data bytes bit3
+ 7. Three rows of the data bytes bit4
+ 8. Three rows of the data bytes bit5
+ 9. Three rows of the data bytes bit6
+ 10. Three rows of the data bytes bit7 (msb)
+ 11. Three rows of "1" as the stop bit
+ 12. Three rows of "1" as padding after the bits
