Why don't you think it would be easy, and that it would take time? We could get the proposal in front of the MMA members tomorrow and certainly have it ironed out the same time GMPI ships. If we use SysX, we don't even need the MMA to ratify it. It can be like a vendor specific opcode. This list is the evolution of MIDI, haven't you been reading?<g> -----Original Message----- From: gmpi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gmpi-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Martijn Sipkema Sent: Wednesday, June 16, 2004 1:29 PM To: gmpi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gmpi] Re: 3.15 MIDI [...] > MIDI can easily be brought up to date to support float values.

I don't think it would be easy and it would certainly take some time before it would happen. Apart from that it is questionable if that is the way to go. And the way MIDI evolves is not really relevant to this list; we should use MIDI the way it currently exists or not use it at all. --ms ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
