> ...an inability to communicate future information if known to the MIDI producer... The video notes that MIDI just wasn't designed for this purpose. It was designed as a standard messaging protocol facilitating communication between the different RTOS's used in synthesisers. The fact that it became a standard format for digital musical notation was probably just an afterthought, albeit a pretty good one. I couldn't watch the whole video, however there are always MIDI control codes which can be used for the kind of meta-information they're talking about, like specifying Staccato, or Tremolo.
