>>> I have yet to hear about a MIDI plugin which will not work, easily and efficiently), with MIDI translated to GMPI events and SysEx blobs. I cannot sanction making a design decision based on a marketing issue which can easily be spun. <<< We can't argue the translation question until we know precisely what the GMPI events are for music. I assume want GMPI music events to be less semantically opaque than MIDI. So what corresponds to "sustain pedal" or "pitch bend"? How do we ensure that every MIDI event that purports to have semantics (if only by its name) is treated equivalently in GMPI? My fear is that we're going to lose this 1:1 translation in a high minded effort to do it The Right Way. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
