Some less than accurate information has slipped through lately, so please allow me to chime in with humble corrections. >> Rick Walker wrote: >> >>> 1) Midi only has 127 increments of velocity. 128 are the steps for so called Continuous Control data. 128 steps is used for example when turning a knob or pushing a fader. Or to measure how fast a note is attacked (Velocity). > On 2/5/2013 1:07 AM, andy butler wrote: >> >> As I understand it there's also limits to timing accuracy 128 steps has nothing to do with timing of MIDI Notes. Note resolution can vary on different platforms, but in Logic that I am working in right now, the resolution for each quarter note is 960 steps. For one bar that gives 3840 steps, "1/3840". Timing resolution for audio is sample accurate, which means for my current project that there are 48.000 steps within a second where a recording can be. The mixer in Logic works at a 32bit floating point resolution; I can't calculate the exact resolution of that but it must be many thousand times higher than MIDI. >> and the need to play along to a click track when recording. >> >> andy There's no need for that, you may use a MIDI sequencer just as a tape recorder if you like.

MIDI keyboards and MIDI control pedals can have quite a lot of latency though. There is also an issue to understand with audio latency, but I think we are talking MIDI in this thread aren't we?
