[sdiy] MIDI spec

Hi Seb,

>I agree in normal circumstances the MIDI message buffer is not needed, but when sending and handling 15CVs worth of MIDI CC messages, playing a few chords + some pitch bend, plus changing the LCD display, I can imagine the buffer could fall behind by a message or 2.  And if it does it's much better that that "note off" message is 1ms late rather than dropped!

Within that 1ms there could be three new messages. What are you going to do with these? Delay them for three milliseconds? Then there might be ten new messages already.... Thats all I'm saying.

I see that this is only a theorectical worst case, but I think that to make it rock solid one should assume the worst case. 

Cheers,
 René
