MIDI is an asynchronous serial interface. The baud rate is 31.25 kBd +/-1%.
There is 1 start bit, 8 data bits, and 1 stop bit. The period is about 320
microseconds per serial byte. Note on/off messages are 2 or 3 bytes in
length, depending on running status being used or not.

Sorry, should have mentioned this is with regard to the internals of
sequencing. I can't see in Seq24 for example a way to make a zero length

Where do you get the one millisecond from? Hi,
I keep getting surprised at some of the most basic problems I run
into... This time, processing order.
Midi is serial, first come first served.
1) Notes of zero duration?
Are at least one millisecond.
2) note x ending simultaneously with note y
beginning
Note x will end either one millisecond before or after y beginning.
/j Does this imply that a note-off should always happen
one millisecond early?
There are instruments that always ignore note off messages, for instance many
percussion instruments. In this case, you can safely omit note off messages.
