My viewpoint is that anything MIDI has *always* been a "mixed bag of tricks".

It is possible to have two differing parameters that both meet the old MIDI spec.

Figure that.

Then there is the fact that Yamaha insisted on using the old Japanese convention of starting with zero and having zero count as one. Figure THAT...

But it is what it is and given all that, I still have managed to take darn good advantage of the power of MIDI over the years, in studio and onstage.

Remember when our keyboard choices were few and all of 'em quite large in size?

And all of 'em were literally one trick ponies as well...
