RE: who here uses MIDI?

["Relay" <relaydelayband@earthlink.net>]

Matt Davignon rocked the house here tonight in San Diego.  He did not use
MIDI.
Explaining MIDI . . . it's just a standard way of communicating musical
directions electronically.  A piano keyboard can send note on and off
information, pedals can send sustain (cc64), just about everything 
including
starting the toaster in the morning can be done with MIDI.  Heck, MIDI 
found
Saddam Hussein!
OK, the space music makin' me crazy . . .
In any case, what I like to tell people is, when your computer makes a 
noise
or plays music and it's not a recording (ie, samples), THAT'S MIDI.
Tonight Matt played samples from records and tapes and CDs . . . Into a 
pair
of Digitech guitar pedals from the last century.  He really knows his tools
well . . . And the other players were good, too . . .
Big bang for the buck ($5 . . .)
