I found that I can swamp *any* MIDI receiving device when I program a 
simple CV to MIDI converter: just read the ADC and output the data as 
MIDI CC in an endless loop. It needs at least a few milliseconds delay 
in the loop to work properly.

The receiving devices I tried include my Mac running Logic or 
SoundDiver, and my Roland S-760 in MIDI monitor mode.

I think it's not likely that I've done something wrong in that little 
program, like not waiting for the transmitter to get ready before 
sending another byte. It still works fine when the three (or two, 
using running status) bytes are sent one after the other, without 
delay in between.

Didn't someone else here report the same thing?
