Will the instruments be better?

i mean better as in not laggy. the sounds should are fine as-is

Yes. We're currently using MIDI for instruments with fixed timings, so instruments will sounds much better than in SS13. Furthermore, you'll be able to play physical MIDI instruments to your fellow crewmembers, aside from MIDI files.

Here's a video preview of instruments:

That's sick. from what i recall space station 13 uses midi files for each note, and just plays each note on call. how will this new system handle multi-tracked midi files?

We're using a full-blown MIDI synthesizer (fluidsynth, fwiw) so it should handle it just fine.

I am assuming black midis might mess it up, because some can crash your computer

We will put measures into place so this can't happen.

Will the measures limit note density or overall amount of notes? because there are some midis i have that are about 20 minutes long

As long as your MIDI files are smaller than 2MB, it should be fine.
Currently, the only checks in place are client-side, but we know this is not ideal at all. This is why we will implement server-side checks as soon as possible, and drop notes dynamically.
(Keep in mind that MIDI is streamed from the client to the server, with extra measures in place so even MIDI from laggy players sounds fine.)

here's another one video where i connected real synthesizer Yamaha DCX-220 (everything would work as long as it has midi input and has drivers installed)

Will it accept midi signals such as sustain pedals or pitch bending?
