John,

I almost hate to reply in this thread given the original thought trend by wrkit. But I'm curious as to your statement about "MIDI is dying" and if your main opinion driver is Windows? Here, I'd have to disagree with you, primarily because:

Most users I know and/or read threads on other music forums (Cakewalk/SONAR, Yamaha, Roland, Notion, Guitar Pro, etc.,) don't rely on Windows for MIDI processing (meaning midi-mapper or in/out). In fact, Windows isn't a consideration, given that many (if not most) use a hardware audio and/or MIDI interface and drivers for DAW and basic recording. Additionally, besides keyboard, there are (while fewer in number than keyboard players) who own and use other synth instruments, such as guitar, wind, electronic drums (also recall Peter's recent request for MIDI features).

Sorry for replying in this thread, but I think you are off the mark here.

I right with you on this Richard. I have participated in many MIDI is dead “discussions” on these forums. These are the only forums I am on where SOME people think MIDI is dead. Of course that is far from the truth. But they have a right to their opinions.

When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"
