I'm told someone is trying to encode information by ordering the musical notes played in a chord with a Midi synthesizer. It's possible to hide information in the order of a set using a technique like this:
That's cute --there's no acoustic difference. There are also methods which produce nearly imperceptible differences --you can adjust the millisecond-scale timings, or the dynamics. Since these will vary with each performer's rendition anyway, they're fairly stealthy.
