I hate to break up your catch-all answer, but I've read comments in MIX
Magazine where a certain freelance writer made noises about how the   
Amiga cannot timestamp income MIDI events with an greater accuracy
than ~20-30ms.  This rumor was repeated in other magazines, thus giving
it credibility.  (I subscribe to no less than 6 music and technical
journals, giving me lots of information, but a terrible time remembering
where I read what)
