    I’d like to use some 14-bit CCs in Reaktor ensembles. If I have a 14-bit mod wheel, for example, is getting all 14 bits as simple as reading the top 7 bits from CC #1 and the bottom 7 bits from CC #33? Are there any synchronization issues involved, or does MIDI and/or Reaktor take care of that?

    I've been working on getting 14-bit midi into reaktor from a BCR/F 2000s.
    Unfortunately reaktor doesn't handle NRPNs or 14 bit midi natively.
    I've attached an instrument which has core cells that combine/convert normal ccs to 14 bit, but they may be a bit rusty around the edges as I've ripped them out of a WIP ens.
    I don't think there are any sync issues, I havn't run into any problems yet at least.

    I have read that the midi specification does not specity the order in which the LSB and MSB are sent when using 14 bit CCs, please correct me if I'm wrong.

    The pitch bend message is a "special" case of 14 bit message as all 14 bits are contained within a single message. Within the pitch bend message the LSB is sent first so I would assume (only a guess) that anyone implementing 14bit CCs would do the same and send the LSB followed by the MSB. If this were done it would mean that many LSBs could be sent (up to 127) before an MSB needed to be sent thus saving on midi bandwidth and helping to avoid delay caused by the many messages generated by 14bit CC operation.
