Original description

What change would like to see?

Arduino MIDI to handle High Resolution Velocity CC#88

Why?

Well, there are products and software (Pianoteq) that already can handle this information. It would be nice if the MIDI software could cope with it as well. It will probably get thru but what happens if I want to send a message and that happens to be inserted between CC#88 and the NoteOn message following the CC#88, or I want to handle a NoteOn message myself but miss the CC#88 before the message?

Would this cause any incompatibilities with previous versions? If so, how
can these be mitigated?

It depends on the implementation i guess. Normally MIDI.read is just sending it THRU. When using Callback for NoteOn it's the programmers response to read if there was a preceding CC#88 message. Maybe a new GetXXXX function is needed since GetData1 probaly will return the note number.
