Just to add a little here: Keyswitches are notes that are used to invoke different 'articulations' of an instrument, and are fairly common in orche...

The trouble is, Geir, that MIDI 1 messages are encapsulated within the MIDI 2 UMP. This would make them potentially unreadable to a MIDI 1 sequencer/...

It'll certainly be interesting to see whether a MIDI 2 SMF will be read within a MIDI 1 sequencer or DAW. Somehow "I hae me doots", but living in h...
