Supporting timestamps for the internal representation of MIDI data and
higher bandwidth is a good idea. 14 bits resolution is quite enough.

Are any of these efforts adding timestamps to MIDI channel messages?

What is the maximum bandwidth?

Are any of these efforts increasing the precision of the MIDI data elements
such as key, velocity, or controller data?
