The last paragraph says 14-bit MIDI values are 0-32767. This is impossible, since 14 bits can only give us 0-16383. This might be a documentation error; or, if the documentation is correct then there’s a bug in the code.

Additionally, in the French translation, the same paragraph talks about “7 octets” and “14 octets”, which means “7 bytes” and “14 bytes” and thus incorrect. These should read “7 bits” and “14 bits” (same as English).

Cheers,
