[sdiy] MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) specification

[Tom Wiltshire]

Good question. If you don’t know how many more are connected, how would you know when to start stealing notes?

I don’t think you need new credentials. It worked for me with the same as ever.

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.
