Re: Re: [elektron] Turbo midi : so what ?

2006-10-03 by onosendai@free.fr

Well, we use midi since more than ten years and i never heard someone complain
about slow midi specification... Think about Jarre, Tangerine Dreams and
Vangelis, how many synth they use with "simple" midi ?

By the way, the future of midi already exist : it's OSC (for OpenSoundControl).
Native Instruments use OSC (and midi) with all of their product. So i don't
understand why Elektron have to think about a new kind of format.

It's a bit weird to me :/
