Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to 128. Look, right across the board, 128, 128, 128 and -
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most MIDI Controllers go up to 127?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it's louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it's one louder, isn't it? It's not 127. You see, most blokes, you know, will be
playing at 127.
You're on 127 here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on 127 on your guitar.
Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don't know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know
what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to 128.
Nigel Tufnel: 128. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Does calling the first program 1 rather than 0 make it louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [Pause] These go to 128.

David St. Hubbins: It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever.
