I'm planning on making a whole series on MIDI (specifically in a "contemporary EDM style-context-as opposed to making them sound like real instruments) where I start from the very basics (oscillators and the different types of waveforms, ADSR envelopes, LFOs, filters, arpeggiators, etc.) all of which the "younger folk" know inside out.


Thanx for calling me and a few others here younger folk wink

From what I've ascertained Mario is MIDI's biggest champion in these here forums (or at least the most vocal about it), and based on his music and discussions, he uses MIDI to get real instrument sounds.

The stuff I want to demonstrate/post videos on sounds nothing like real instruments! laugh



Yes, doing a MIDI series is an excellent idea. Please include a transition series on from GM to Soft/hard synths and how to use them in BiaB/RB; there are a lot of questions about that on these forums. I can not answer those questions as I do all of my work in my DAW.

Thanx for the "Mario is MIDI's biggest champion" comment.

I have a lot of nonreal sounding soft synths. Maybe I should record something to post.

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