alt Hacker NewsI have maybe 20 hardware synths and I do a lot of sequencing. And yes it wasn't a problem 25 years ago, that is exactly why I still use an Atari STe! :-) But today it is a problem. It is just not possible to do complex and tight sequencing today with a normal Win, Mac or Linux computer. Even with my RME PCIe card. Your argument, "it wasn't a problem decades ago, so it cannot today either" is simply not correct.

From what I understand, midi messages can have timestamps into the future, but that implies buffering on the receiver end. Do most MIDI instruments not support enough buffering to overcome lag? Because in sequencing, the future is pretty-well known.

Midi from a browser suffers from slowdownw due to have javascript is just too slow, non-threaded. There afde ways around it, but those are all workarounds.
Just move put of focus, and you will see how it handles sending clock. I went to a hardware based, external clock signal, and using spp to force syncs between my tools, and use rtmidi+c
