MIDI resolution

resolution
Type Element Description Use
  midi Range of MIDI controller To indicate whether the MIDI controllers should be measured in low resolution (MSB) or high resolution (LSB combined with MSB)

Possible values:

When only MSB controllers are used, there are 128 possible values (ie 0-127). When MSB is used together with LSB there are 16'384 possible values (ie 128 squared).

For MML the distinction between MSB and LSB is irrelevant. However, it must be possible to translate a high resolution MML value to a low resoluton MIDI value. It is suggested that the user agent handles this calculation.

The MML default value would map to MSB. If MSB is not the case, it should be made explicit with the "lsb" value.
