OVERRIDING M.I.D.I.

[Karl Helmer Torvmark]

Hi!

This is my first post on synth-diy.

In my opinion, the raw speed of MIDI is not the biggest problem.
On most instruments, the delay from the synth receives the MIDI message 
to it emits a sound is a bigger problem. This compounds when the synth
receives a lot of messages at once. The synth manufacturers try to 
minimize costs, and they choose a processor that can JUST carry the load 
(of course they try to wry as much polyphony out of it as possibe).

This is of course a non-issue if you have an analog synth connected with 
a MIDI to CV-converter with enough processing power.
