Delta time of the next event, in variable length representation. > The MIDI standard says note-off is one status byte > followed by 2 data bytes! SMF (Standard MIDI File) format must store timestamped events, which the MIDI protocol (over the wire) doesn't care. There is a good reference of SMF format here: http://borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midifile.htm You may want to try some SMF-to-text conversion utility: http://alsa.opensrc.org/MidiComp Regards, Pedro
