CAN bus or ethernet is most suitable for a new midi standard. USB is not symmetrical so let hope that it is not part of 2.0. It isn't. That is down t...

My reading of what's there so far shows no change to the electronics driving the standard MIDI DIN, so I'd expect 32,150 bps. It's only USB and Ether...

MU90, eh! 😉 It may be, that this particular SysEx command wasn't added to the MIDI specification until the MU90 was designed and built. The last...

Geof, Within a SysEx message the manufacturer's number can only be 00 to 7Ch. So these are specific to a particular piece of equipment. 7Dh, 7...

No, I think that the MIDI spec deliberately allows manufacturers to "break the rules", but let me explain what I mean by that. To take conventional...

I'm not sure that they do follow "a standard" or is it a commonly agreed implementation that some don't adhere to? I've looked through the MIDI 1.0 s...

No, the pressure doesn't "reach zero" it starts at zero with no pressure applied. After the key "bottoms out" when you play it and then you start to ...

Enzo, I hope this does it for you. Here's a small part of the voice list from page 5 of the DGX-650 "data list" manual downloaded from Yamaha downlo...

I've read this thread with interest, and I hope my tagging on to it will not be taken as discourteous. John I've read your more detailed posts wit...

What you're describing sounds like a latency problem within the MIDI to USB convertor. This is a very common symptom found in the very lowest cost MI...

Hi Angus, What is not generally appreciated is that the MIDI specification was initially created way back in, was it '83? At that time there was n...

Angus, Geoff, The only way you're going to get the same output is by using the same device as this was written for, as it was clearly NOT written f...

Geoff, It certainly would be important to attach a delta time to an incoming MIDI message, but equally(?) a sequencer in playback mode must transmi...

If you need to check the time, then the delta time preceding the event I would have thought is essential. But ... The Delta time has no information ...

My understanding of the two is as follows: A MIDI message is, for example, a Note On or Note Off, Control Change, Program Change, Mod Wheel, etc. ...
