who loves/hates it? i basically know just enough, like how to record it and that's all that is important for me. once you start talking about program changes and controllers though, i just get lost on it. am i missing out not knowing how to do that stuff? |

MIDI is shit the person who invented MIDI should be shot i wrote a single track sequencer (which never worked properly) for my computer degree years ago, and i can safely say that it is bullshit |
||||||||

It works fine for me... I don't love it, but it works |
||||||||
|

i just record everything into my sequencer and play with the parameters on my synths. i guess i could just buy a midi controller and play with parameters from the controller, but that's really all i need to do it seems. i guess midi is just overcomplicated. |

i saw it Rob. i dont know how i'd benefit from one. i'd like a midi router though. |

I to thought the creator of MIDI should be strapped to a chair and stabbed with #2 pencils repeatidly. UNTIL that is, I discovered Native Instruments' FM7. That coupled with my synth makes one bad ass mother fucker. |

|
what!? midi is fucking imperitive, I can't imagine life without it (well I can but I can tell you it wouldn't be very exciting) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why is midi bullshit? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wanted to fucking kill MIDI until I learned the benifits of having a control synthesizer and several MIDI enables programs. Like on FM7, instead of being able to just click on lousy key on the screen at a time, know all I do is press the keys on my synth. It opened up doors. I love it now. But MIDI cables are SO EXPENSIVE! |

hmmm...with a midi controller, i could do program changes on it right? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you mean you could have the synth interact with the program? then, yes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i want a midi controller just so i can do everything from it such as adjust parameters, select patches, change programs, select midi channels. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then yes, it does all that, just dont get one of those shit midi controllers that attaches to your PC via USB, those suck ass. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont use any computers for making music, only hardware. with a midi controller, i can completely not have to interact with my hardware i'm assuming, which is nice because i can just do everything from one box rather than move about and hover above my equipment. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Software is definately the future, but nothing, i mean NOTHING compares to pressing a key or twiddling a knob, mouse clicks will never replace that. I think however that you should have a good hardware-software balance. I use a Yamaha CS1x, and it seems to control a friends MIDI keyboard well. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the only thing i'd use a computer or software for would be sequencing and that's all. |

i love midi, we have an mpc2000, es 1, er 1, and a roland 202. jesus think of that without midi...... ewww |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for me, the only thing i need midi for is just recording and keeping time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, MIDI is wicked. u can do lots, not only like automating mixers and stuff. very nice |
||||||||

|
a program change is essentially a patch change isn't it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hhmm, I would think so, but I couldnt swear by it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's what most of the info that i'm getting of the net seems to say. and it seems that synth controller info affects everything pertaining to a patch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I love it! Its cool - especially with a great sound card |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still can't believe you think midi is shit, it has had such a profound impant on music making its unbelievable and its not even that hard to figure out |
||||||||
