RE: MIDI throwdown

Title: RE: MIDI throwdown

The power that midi gives you makes it worth the time to learn it from square one instead of leaning on the list members to educate you. There are several books and/or websites for helping get a handle on midi, including glossaries so gibberish becomes comprehensible.

 

PS: NOW, can I be in the grumpy list members’ club? J

You say:
"One of the best things about MIDI is that you can use continuous controllers to modify events and effects in real time. "

But all I hear is:
"Gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish gibberish."

I have no idea what that means to me.

One of the best things about MIDI is that you can use continuous controllers to modify events and effects in real time.  If you already have this in your

(non-MIDI) interface, I can understand why you might not jump in feet first :&}  But the best thing about MY pedal (a PMC-10) is that you can send multiply commands to multiple units--as large a string as you want.  Gatta admit that makes dancing more elegant. By the way, what if you drink at a gig and try to do the footswitch boogie? Can't you hurt yourself that way?  Anybody here ever take a tumble in the line of duty? In other news, I KNEW it was aliens! Gary
