I believe you... That is hardly blind AB testing though. Mr. young tells
us that remastering to 24bits/192k will bring out things in his earlier
recordings originally recorded on tape too.

What I find interesting (funny) is that the one thing in MIDI 2 that would
make the least difference to someone's performance is the one thing people
want. The good things about MIDI2 in my mind are things like being able to
have an untempered or variable scale. Being able to pitch change each
note separately. Having many more CCs. Just to name a few. Guitar to MIDI
can make good use of it. Some of the new stick like controllers might do
well too. But keyboards? subtle at best I think.
