I can't wait until the day when midi and samples are looked down upon with the same digust as sub-HD is now. Not in older games, of course, but in new releases. I want consumers to expect live instruments the same way they expect HD graphics.

Same here, and I'm also still waiting for HD sound to appear. 96khz has long been possible, but we're still mucking around with stock samples and standard echo filters. A good 96/24 5.1 track sounds amazing.

Midi can still play a role, it's perfect for the likes of Fez and Shatter.
Although it's even better when mixing it in with live instruments, Tron Legacy's soundtrack for example. Do that in games :)
