Yeah, the 7-bit amplitudes really wreck things. I switched from MIDI to OSC basically because of the better resolution, though I eventually gave up due to the lack of support for the protocol.
- kazinator 7y ago7 bits can encode 0 == "off", plus a 127 dB amplitude range in 1 dB increments. In a musical mix, -20 dB down, plus "off", is all you need; anything turned down more than about 20 dB relative to everything else disappears. +/- 20 dB of cut and boost spread into 127 bits is ridiculously good resolution.
- neltnerb 7y agoSo I get what you're saying, but this isn't my experience. There's no room to use small changes in volume for expressiveness at the low end of the volume scale, since attacks/sustains/release shape is more quantized. So if your piece has fff and ppp in it (which is probably a full 40dB range) the ppp part will sound super flat while the fff part might sound great.
