To add a bit of clarification to this, a note-on and a note-off command are the same length (3 bytes), but using 'running status', which reduces the data to 2 bytes by dropping the command (ie. use this new data with the previous command) then a note-on with a velocity of 0 would drop to 2 bytes. I'm not sure how this becomes 'a lot less data', but I suppose the cumultive effect might be 'a lot less'... :) Also, I'm not sure why Stephen wants to see it go away, but I find midi to be a great vehicle for controlling devices, including things other than just notes, such as parameters in synth patches and effects units, as well as getting/sending configurations to devices. I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see an improved version come out (faster transport medium, better support for thigns like string instruments, etc) but, just because the current version lacks this, doesn't mean I would to see the current version go away... :) anyways, that's my 2cents... peace -cpr >-- Original Message -- >Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 23:35:59 -0700 (PDT) >From: S V G <vsyevolod@yahoo.com> >Subject: Re: FCB1010 vs. Loopers-Delight caged deathmatch... >To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com >Reply-To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > > > > When MIDI was first implemented, there was note-on and note-off >commands >for every note. >Then some whiz kid figured out that it took a lot less information (in terms >of bytes) to just >send a note-on command of 0.
