| (numeric value) | delay in ms |

## Details

`&mididelay=1000` lets you precisely delay the MIDI play-out from VDO.Ninja to your MIDI device when using [`&midiin`](https://docs.vdo.ninja/advanced-settings/api-and-midi-parameters/midiin), irrespective of network latency.

Use case: If you have a remote drum machine, you can have it play out the beat exactly 4-bars ahead, allowing for music jamming types with even high ping delays between locations.
