The key word here is *linear*. If sending a lot more data as MIDI than
the receiving device is listening for there is not going to be a
steady flow of accurate data coming through. Everything simply can't
be sent at the same time and the data intended for a certain receiving
device may have its packages interrupted by other, irrelevant, data.
If the receiving device needs to get information in a certain order to
react correctly there might be issues
i recall reading somewhere that midi clock data needs to be given precedence or something of that sort, so i feel you on this. it's only gonna get stickier as i attempt to use everything to control everything. so...i bought an express xt. problem solved.
thanks for all the input.
