14 bit midi in 1.0?

Lots of problems I’d need to resolve.

  • I’ve seen 4 methods so far for sending 14-bit MIDI in the wild. Which controllers can use which methods?

    • MSB/LSB: CC #n for MSB and #n+32 for LSB
    • NRPC
    • MPE pitch wheel: channels 0-15
    • DX7 parameter change SysEx

  • Is there a standard order of MSB and LSB messages? Does MSB (CC 0-31) come first, or LSB (CC 32-63), or is it undefined?

  • There’s also this:

Basically, 14-bit MIDI is a mess. The next person that asks me “Can you implement 14-bit MIDI?” I’ll tell them their request is not specific enough.
