Hai there,
Do you have any information on MIDI? If you do,
I would like to share them with you. Now, I am involved
with a project on 'MIDI & COMPUTER(IBM) & KEYBORD(CASIO)
& MUSIC NOTATION'.
I would be very greatful for any of your help.
Thank You.
Yours,
A.Chengodan,

I am undertaking a Senior Design project that involves MIDI. I am a novice in this area and I am looking for as much information on the subject as possible. What textbooks or manuals would be best to read to pick up an in-depth knowledge in this area? Thanks, Adam Gladstone (eniac.seas.upenn)

Thanks, I, too, am doing my Senior Project using MIDI. The best books I have seen for MIDI are: _The MIDI Book_ by Steve DeFuria and Joe Scacciaferro from Hal Leonard Books a simple, straightforward book on how MIDI works _MIDI for Musicians_ by Craig Anderton. 1986 from Amsco Publications similar to _The MIDI Book_, but slightly more advanced. _The MIDI Resource Book_ by Steve DeFuria and Joe Scacciaferro from Hal Leonard Books This book gets down into MIDI. For the more advanced. There is really no how-to's in this. You should already know-how. It contains the complete MIDI spec, which you will need if you plan on programming any MIDI software. It also goes through some MIDI System Exclusive Dumps of a few machines. Do you plan on making some type of synthesis program? If so, I have some other books I can recommend on that. -- /\ PYRAMIDI | sseidman@polyslo.calpoly.edu /--\ RECORDING | /----\ San Luis Obispo | Tangerine Dream, Level 42, Vanglis, Jarre, -------- ||||||||||||||| | Mannheim Steamroller, Yes, Genesis, ...
