[net.audio] MIDI? MIDI? MIDI? MIDI?

[Maybe if we are nice to it it will go away?]

   I did some quick research on MIDI (which was very easy since my father
has designed a few musical instruments with MIDI attached).  Apparently,
the problem it is having is that MIDI hasn't set up it's standard in such
a way that it is uniform....

   One such discrepancy is with pitch bend.  The MIDI association
didn't say for sure that when you send a pitch bend of an xx value that
it bends the pitch +- 1/2 step, a whole step, or what.  So sometimes if
you have a pair of keyboards (or more) chained together with the others
as slaves, you get some pretty weird results....

   Count on me posting more about this in the near future....
