In playing around with Guitar Figures I learned something.
Each time I tried to export as a standard MIDI file a guitar figure such as in Fig1 (a rhythm guitar strum bundled in SF) I would get Fig2 in Logic Pro X - MIDI quantized such that all the slight delays of the strumming are lost.
Turns out you need to - on export of the MIDI file - Turn OFF "Optimize For Notation". And then you get the right behavior - Fig3. Its not a big deal and you all probably know this, but I did spend some time going crazy.
Of course the point is not about guitar figures, but about very small timing intervals - "Optimize for Notation" will quantize the MIDI on output and the performance is lost.
