I believe you... That is hardly blind AB testing though. Mr. young tells

What I find interesting (funny) is that the one thing in MIDI 2 that would
make the least difference to someone's performance is the one thing people
want. The good things about MIDI2 in my mind are things like being able to
have an untempered or variable scale. Being able to pitch change each
note separately. Having many more CCs. Just to name a few. Guitar to MIDI
can make good use of it. Some of the new stick like controllers might do
well too. But keyboards? subtle at best I think.

In terms of
velocity vs. amplitude I would guess that 127 levels at 1db
per level covers more than most ADC's would show. At .5db per level the
range is still probably wider than the dynamic range available in a nice
quiet studio/sound stage... so I would hope that the range of timbre
differences makes a wider range of velocities worth while. I would like to
see a blind AB test where the same performance is rendered by the same
synth in both MIDI 1 and MIDI 2.
Not what our piano teachers say ;-)
