This extension defines a generic time-stamped event port type, which can be used to create plugins that read and write real-time events, such as MIDI, OSC, or any other type of event payload. The type(s) of event supported by a port is defined in the data file for a plugin, for example:

<http://example.org/some-plugin>

        a ev:EventPort, lv2:InputPort ;
