I'm sure they would be sensitive to bad timing.  But that's not

the question. Would they be able to identify the recordings listed

of jitter 'destroys the groove' is pure conjecture.

It's not about what 'good music' is. The question is if midi jitter

of 2 ms does degrade the quality of a rendering.
