Midi Signalflow

Regardless of the reason, I’m having trouble seeing a problem here that impedes LinnStrument’s practical use as a expressive musical instrument.

.... forgive me if I'm a bit naughty here, but I know that you are sometimes like an overprotective mother for your baby, so I expressed it clearly and repeatedly that it is *not* a problem, just curiosity!

Sorry dr,
I missed that part. The engineer is me is always trying to solve problems.

It will be the sending side I would think, midi over USB uses bulk transfer mode and there is a packed mode and single mode. Packed will pack many messages into a single packet while single will only send one message per packet. Sounds like you are running in single mode.

... yes, no doubt about that! And you do it brilliantly!
But from time to time you seem a bit scared, if your baby makes some steps outside its 'intended use'
Babys sometimes have a live of their own

.. as I said, I dont know much about these things (nothing actually) but I think you nailed it here.
USB may be just not as suitable to send *single bytes* as this forty years old thing called MIDI?!

Yet it remains confusing. But I think we can leave it here.
