Which Daw has the tightest internal midi?

[vurt]

the midi came shortly after the mini.
as the mini was seen as too revealing for workplaces and such, unless you worked in a happening joint of course.
the midi allowed you to feel young and fashionable, without giving mr sotheby the banks manager, a seizure.
the maxi came later. mainly for winter probably.

In my experience cakewalk sonar seemed to have the tightest midi

I am not even sure if a daw use real midi when they send note data to vst plugs
In a daw it's perfectly possible to send a chord to a vst plugin and all notes are triggered at the same time , this would not be possible using (real) midi since it's a serial protocol, there would be tinny timing offsets between each note .
Someone will correct me if I am wrong

Pffftt... you're either 960 ticks PPQ tight, or you're a just a toy.

Midi, the one which is running through those 5-pin cables cannot be tight for technical reasons, whereas computers can be. Conclusion all DAWs are as tight as any other. If not its a bug...

The only connection to Midi history is, that Yamaha was on board for the first Midi spec and the early DX7 had one of the earliest implementations (almost to the later released spec). Yamaha bought Steinberg... But thats Yamahas history not Steinbergs.

I think I wrote my first Midi programs in Pascal before Steinberg was founded on an Apple ][ clone... (maybe even before Bill Gates sold DOS to IBM...)

Apologies I’m a bit of a nerd about this, Cubase started on Atari, same with Logic. (Digital) Performer and OpCode Vision were the original Mac MIDI sequencers. Can’t remember the name of the other Atari sequencer that was around near the beginnings? but it wasn’t one that lasted.

Steinberg started on C64, Cubeat, the first version of Cubase started on Atari. I had an Atari, but never really got into it before moving to my first Mac and Max...
I was an Opcode Vision guy in terms of sequencers back then...

Pro24?

I think Pro 24 became Cubase.
C-Lab Notator was around the same time...I wanna say that became Logic?

C-Lab Supertrack, cool stuff. Crazy to think Logic, DP, Cubase and Pro Tools are all still in business.

I cannot remember if we started on Opcode and went Performer or the other way around? I think it was the latter. Had something to do with easier math conversions to write in odd time signatures. This was around 86 or so.

When I repurchased a DAW in the 90's I did so luckily by accident with buying DP 2.11.
