Turbo Speed: What is it?

Thanks for helping out, Peter!

Turbo MIDI requires particular hardware for DIN-MIDI ports. The speed of data transfer is greater over USB than over DIN-MIDI.

Are you positive that that’s correct…? (see below)

@PeterHanes

I don’t think that any difference would be noticeable. I don’t think that there’s even any advantage in Turbo speeds over regular MIDI for synchronization unless you are sending tons of other messages at the same time.

To my vague understanding, turbo midi increased the frequency; not per se the “reliability” at which midi(-clock) bytes are sent.Usually midi is sent at 24PPQ (pulses per quarter note)… – if I understand correctly, using turbo midi, this frequency is increased (x2, x4…). Therefore you get a finer resolution for clocking. This is why I’m confused as for why it’s not available via USB…
