Just be forewarned that about the only thing new in midi these days seems to be dying a very quick death.



Only in your dreams John.

You are sending a wrong message here.

MIDI is still the hardware standard for communication. Companies like Garritan, NI, IK Multimedia, every DAW (including RB) and many other companies are using MIDI. The only people not using MIDI are the RB/RT inclusive PGMusic camp, the loop camp (I am NOT criticizing either group) or those that only record live or musicians in the studio. Everyone else is using one or another form of MIDI.

PS – as an after though it occurred to me that even those recording live the band could be using midi, either musically and/or running a light show with it.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
