Extremely frequently. Digital musical instruments generally don't output production quality sounds -- they output MIDI data that describes what note is being played, and an audio synthesizer device or software interprets it and generates the audio data.

    Right. I guess I consider that a relatively niche usecase. But on second thought I suppose it's not that niche once you include hobbyist musicians and that kind of crowd.

    I wanted to make the analogy of every tech YouTuber reviewing a laptop or non-high-end PC saying "you're not going to be rendering long videos on this thing" as if that's a relatable use case. No, YouTuber, that's not something most people do on their computers! Most people probably never do it in their life, or only a handful of times ever.

    But as I said upon more thought I realize that's not the case with midi.
