[sdiy] MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) specification

[MTG]

Do we need new credentials?  I've had the same username and pw since 
2012 and it's not working.  Ugh.

If I can steal this thread a bit (sorry)... is there some standard for 
these mono-synths that daisy-chain to become polyphonic?  I'm guessing 
the first synth takes the first note, then passes any other notes via 
it's midi-out merged with what it may be generating??  I don't mean 
necessarily a midi.org standard, just de-facto where we could play along 
as it were.  I guess each synth would need to know how many more are 
downstream??

The plan is to give each note it’s own MIDI channel, until you run out of channels, at which point you start having multiple notes on each channel.
