You can use a protocol which hasn't the limitations of midi (7 bit CC data :() and trunk it on the ends that need midi (filter the more dynamic range to the coarser range). Of course this brings issues about the different dynamic ranges used and I think you'll hear it. I just don't think there is any good reason to use the restrictions imposed by midi when you stay inside your computer (it is not as if you need to be able to pass all your data on a 33600 baud cable, is it ?) regards vini
