@madskjeldgaard@sonomu.club MIDI rate issues have been in existence since its invention. Early versions of Waisvisz' The Hands could only interact with the Yamaha TX7 as that was the only synthesizer available at the time that could handle the amount of messages (which were sti within the MID specs.
I imagine the issue you describe also has to do with the rate. Going through hardware, you have to respect the baudrate of MIDI, while in software, maybe it is not given. Receiving software may just react on whenever something comes in, expecting that the MIDI source respects a reasonable rate. And maybe the Virtual MIDI in MacOS is not ensuring that the source dies this?

@madskjeldgaard@sonomu.club in addition, using MIDI for large amounts of notes in short time spans is not the best idea.. it's simply too slow for that.
