Regarding to music around 6 times for the GUI would be good enough for

me. But some musicians might wish to have a visual control that is much

better, because they are able to notice it. Computers today do have at

least an operation code frequency around 1 GHz, so sync for the GUI

shouldn't be an issue. Hm, I'm an old dino, I did program for the C64

and some other computers on assembler ... much slower than computers

today, but regarding to MIDI much nearer to the humans recording.
There is an issue for MIDI real-time ... btw. it's not really better for

Windows PCs, but it's much better for some stand-alone MIDI equipment

and the C64 or Atari ST.
