[gmpi] Re: MIDI: Proposed Requirements (wrap up try #1)

Then the whole MiG versus NMiG thing is spawned again.

Hi Michael,

Yes, we still have the issue "if we provide MIDI, plugin writters will take
the easy option and support only MIDI"

Truth is, plugin writters will always have that option.  Even if GMPI was
completely MIDI-free, they still have the option of ignoring GMPI and
writting VST plugins instead.
  No matter how much we may want to, we can never force anyone to give up
MIDI.  The best we can do is provide an alternative and hope it's compelling
enough that people will switch.

  I am quite prepared to write and support both MIDI and non-MIDI versions
of my plugins. From what i've seen here on this group, a whole bunch of
others are too.

If you're as convinced as I am that there is a need for better music data,
and as excited about supporting it, then there need be no fear of MIDI in
GMPI.

Best Regards,
Jeff
