Apple Programmer's and Developer's Association (APDA) was created (Sept 1986)

also:
In 1987, computers started infiltrating multimedia and music production, leading Apple Computer to try renegotiating its agreement with Apple Corps. However, nothing could be worked out, and in 1989 Apple Corps again sued Apple Computer, this time for violating the earlier 1981 agreement by including sound playback and MIDI capabilities in Macintosh computers. After a great deal of painful litigation, Apple Computer and Apple Corps settled again in 1991, for a reported $26.5 million.

This second round of litigation had some long-standing impacts on Macintosh software. For instance, the suit kept Apple's MIDI Manager from being an official component of System 7.

i thought i got lucky + Found the "tools set"
but no.. as noted the tools set came with a 44 page manual + 1 diskette

according to this page:
http://manualzz.com/doc/7059292/developer-tools-express--
midi management tools v1.2 was current version at the time of publishing (summer 1990)
i think its very confusing because i suspect that apple midi manager itself was sold under that name
for some time or was erroneously referred to as the name of the programming library/sdk/guide/example whatever u want to call it.. rather then "Apple MIDI Manager"

chrisNova777:
attached please find the developer toolkit for the apple midi manager,
was commonly referred to as MIDI Management Tools Set v2.0 i think
these files were sourced from a Developer "SDK edition" CD from 1996

viewing the manual requires apple doc viewer (also attached)
