This is a very comprehensive, wide-ranging book on how the MIDI protocol is used in the modern music world. It covers the protocol, early history, early instruments (keyboards mostly), modern instruments (eg MIDI drums, guitars, and other instruments), modern MIDI software tools, MIDI for music composition, playing, and music production, use to control stage lights, videos, and other non-music devices and services, editing MIDI, and on and on. I learned a lot about how MIDI is used almost everywhere in the modern music / video / stage production world.Of course the book is a bit dry in places, but how could any book of this depth on a topic like this NOT be dry and technical in places?I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about how MIDI is used everywhere, and what kind of modern MIDI tools and instruments are available.
Great, comprehensive.About to read it for the second timeRecomended for those who require an understanding of MIDIyep
Awesome and thorough book on MIDI. Definitely worth reading if you're interested in MIDI or audio technology. I highly recommend it!
The player-piano analogy is "overused"? If you use an MPC as a sound module you "have the potential to sound like a hit record"? Either bad writing, bad advice, or both.
