Just a simple question for you folks. I'm looking for to add MIDI in/out to my OPL/DOS tracking computer and I'm wondering if there's a big difference between parallel port and PCIe-based options. I've heard that LPT timings can be very, very tight (even more so than USB MIDI). Is the same true for PCIe?
The laptop doesn't have USB and while there is a serial port it sits on a bulky dock (though I've heard MIDI via serial isn't the best anyway). Any particular devices you folks can recommend? Thoughts on the two protocols?
