I think I'm going to start selling "Low latency MIDI cables." Start by
taking out a few ads in the audiophile magazines. Oh, and the cables
are oxygen free and have tubes! And specially balanced strain relief
overmolds to avoid pulling on the MIDI connector (proven to cause
distortion and timing delays). And special end connectors that have an
anti-reflective coating (to avoid interfering with the optical
isolators used in MIDI interfaces, another proven cause of distortion
and timing delays). And...jeez, I should just make a living writing ad
copy for hi-fi gear manufacturers. ;-)

kind) Servo
