I'm not arguing with you, just agreeing in a different way :D Nonlinearity is fun. I'm a big fan of it, and have spent a lot of time on the DSP side developing NLP that can be predictable and repeatable, and all the garbage associated with making it sound good. My issue is more that MIDI 2.0 goes towards part of the issue - e.g. if I press N keys at the same time, N messages should be stamped at the same time and be able to be rendered by the synth at the same time - but I'm doubtful that systems will be able to handle this in a deterministic way, both in recording the incoming messages and replicating them in the same way the performer intended while playing.
