I have 4 midi keyboards a JV1010 and a Ketron. I have the VSC and the Dxi and the dog and coyote show.

I have a EWI that uses midi.

And I see little or no development of midi that excites me.

My setup uses midi for the Voicelive.

I'm not having a debate about this. It is my opinion that you won't see MIDI XML or MIDI2. I don't think the midi doorbell I stumbledupon will take over the world. I will admit that that doorbell gizmo probably has that FM chip in it we all grew to hate.

I have all that gear and just because I think nothing new is showing up in midi I start a 'flame war'.

Jeez, lighten up.

That said 99 percent of the songs I worked on this week only used midi to send data to the voicelive while I thinker with mics and horns. That works perfectly.
