I have some hardware synths from the early 80s with very early midi processing ICs that are terribly slow, like a DX7, Prophet, etc. Thing is that the chips on these crawl compared to modern offerings and they only had 128b as a buffer. Even with data decimation taken to the max 100ms, the eigenharp floods their buffers in two keystrokes. So I was gonna write a midi filter agent to control the buffer size and increase decimation to up to 200 ms, but BEFORE I go and do all that, I thought it might be smarter to ask the crew here is they have a better solution? I'm running the tau with a headless raspberry pi with a lightweight midi setup, so patching it through a bunch of third party software is probably a solid "No'. Maybe puredata because it's lightweight. Wondering if Mark or Geert have had to deal with this before?
