So I suspect that MIDI questions are welcomed here, and the confusion in my case is one of nomenclature. Of course, we could get pendantic and wonder if even some MIDI questions are truly about MIDI, if they only involve virtual "MIDI" through soft-synths. The last I read, MIDI isn't just a messaging protocol, but defines the _hardware_ interface as well. I of course could be wrong about this, and at this point, I admit to starting to ramble and be thinking out loud. For that matter, (and this probably reveals how long I've been using MIDI), do you still have to pay money to the MMA to get a copy of the MIDI specs? Is the MIDI spec still at rev 1.0? Or is that whole organization dead?
