[sdiy] New MIDI (was free AS3320, AS3340, AS3310 and AS3360 samples)

[Roman]

Anyone can join the MIDI Manufacturers Association to discuss HD MIDI Protocol,  where all those issues are addressed. I mean anyone who makes MIDI-related gear  and pays annual fee dependent on their yearly sales volume.

At least the  DIN-connector MIDI has (mostly) consistent latency (three 7-bit bytes  per note, or with running status two bytes per note), but with USB  you're also relying on a computer with a non-real-time OS, and the  only thing close to a saving grace is that these computers are so fast  that it ALMOST doesn't matter that the OS is not real time. It's the  same thing as with recording/playing audio or video - for MIDI the  bandwidth is a lot less, but the timing issues are still about as  stringent. I grasp the original MIDI spec just fine ever since it was  published in Polyphony, but I've had trouble getting a USB-to-MIDI box  running.   A MIDI replacement should absolutely have a timestamp for each event  (perhaps something like MIDI File Format), and the implication is that  the timestamp should be generated by a dedicated device rather than in  a general-purpose non-real-time OS. I'm sure (well I certainly hope)  people have already specified such things in any newly proposed  protocol.  ______________________________  Synth-diy mailing list   Synth-diy at synth-diy.org  synth-diy.org synth-diy.org
