I know it would prolly be a little difficult, but it would be really neat
if we start a standard that uses SCSI to transfer the data instead of
MIDI.. I would like to do a few experiments along these lines. THEN you
wouldnt have the problems of things like the big midi log-jam..BUT you
would be confined to 8 units per scsi bus, but honestly, how many units
needing this bandwidth are you gonna have? UM, on second thought, dont ANY
of you answer, cuz I dread the consequences.. :)) Anyway, with SCSI you
could do controller info out the YINYANG and never have to worry a whole
lot about delay.. I would think its possible, but anyone have any opinions
on it.. ??? Maybe well just bog the CPU down.. Heck, i can do that now with
my Drumstation..:) I need a SGI for music..
