I'm sure they would be sensitive to bad timing. But that's not

of jitter 'destroys the groove' is pure conjecture.
Apart from
that, it remains to be seen if *real* timing errors of
+/- 2 ms do 'destroy the groove'. To test this, make the same
recording
- without jitter,
- with 1 ms jitter,
- with 2 ms jitter,
- with 3 ms jitter.
and check if listeners are able to identify which is which,
or at least to put them into order.
I know very gifted musicians who do like me and they always 'preach'
that I should stop using modern computers and I don't know much averaged
people. So the listeners in my flat for sure would be able to hear even
failure that I'm unable to hear. Anyway. this crowd shouldn't be the benchmark for
good music. Am I
wrong?
It's not about what 'good music' is. The question is if midi jitter
of 2 ms does degrade the quality of a rendering.
