[sdiy] Camel*ont* soft Da synth!

[elmacaco]

Yes, the Atari Machines are known for both their tight timing and low midi
latency, I rarely hear about the midi latency because it seems non existent.
I have a friend with 2 midi peripherals for his STE and he gets something
like 8 midi outs and 6 ins, maybe more, and each one delivers well to this
day.

Might be something about having midi functionality being a high priority and
having it right on the motherboard that makes these things still hang well.
