I think conversion implies a loss or an the conversion does not involve adding any data to the events. the issue is converting from a protocol that is very loose in semantic terms to one that the host can understand/use in a predictable way. a GMPI event that maps a MIDI event will likely contain no more data than the corresponding MIDI message, other than a timestamp and the extra bytes implied by using floats rather than nybbles. --p ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.
