Re: [analogue-sequencer] OT: Windows Midi Timing

This should give you very exact timing and Steinberg did do a little two 
channel version of it too for 80GBP or so. The problem then will be how 
accurate Cubase spits out data, which should be very good. Or not... 
something about emulated ports comes to mind here.

When I stopped using Cubase on the Atari to move over to PC a few years 
back I couldn't believe how shite the timing was. I went back to the 
Atari for a couple of years to wait and see if PCs could be made better. 
But I think I was unlucky with my current PC at the time. There were 
various chip sets that had knock on effects on USB timing and hence any 
connected USB-midi interface would also be skewy.

My new PC appears better but I only have two ancient hardware synths now 
and their midi timing is less than perfect.

A PCI midi interface should be better than any USB one. But getting a 
PCI anything these days is not so easy.
