Cool, we're done.

Aw, shucks, I'm glad to make such an impact on the discussion!
Now, I feel encouraged to introduce an even more powerful concept: the MIDI/IMN specification for note value conversion in ether space:
fbX = sin(arctan(pow(32,midi) + ln(cos(PI + midi/127) - 0.319327)) * 1.0)
This amazing formula captures the performer's true musical intent in mathematical language which is so much easier to understand than classical musical notation or straight MIDI. When applied to a cheesy FM or square wave oscillator, the simplest of melodies suddenly sound as if rendered by a full symphony orchestra. I kid you not. If you don't believe me, just try it. You will be amazed.
I believe emphatically that this equation should be a cornerstone of the GMPI spec.

db = 20 * log10((127/midivolume)^2)
oh, for fucks sake. I give up.
