MIDI doesn't have RTS/CTS pins...

Well that's on me for assuming :/ I assumed that it did, based on it being explained in the blog post
dezgeg is correct, MIDI has no hardware flow control pins. The synth's serial receiver chokes because the 8-bit CPU takes too long to write the SysEx buffer to SRAM.
