![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MIDI over LAN allows me to keep both machines in sync. I use one mainly as a tape machine and the other as the primary MIDI sequencer. Since I've started using MIDI over my studio's network, I'm able to pass messages between multiple computers. For example, using a single physical control to adjust several parameters at once or scripting routines of events which can change depending on variables and logical arguments to make generative compositions, which are still controllable. Many modern music applications have features to get very complex results from simple control messages (CCs, notes, Program Changes). Combining the two via a computer gives me freedom to make a dynamic performance out of static sequences and phrases. Sequencers allow me to compose compositions that I wouldn't be able to achieve otherwise. I'm just a single person, so the ability to control multiple instruments from a single controller opens a lot of possibilities. Today, MIDI is an integral part of my approach to music. I didn't have any experience playing the keyboard… but that did't matter as I was fascinated by the way it communicated with my computer. I think it was Magix Music Maker whatever it was, it came on a bunch of floppy disks. My first experience using MIDI was with a Yamaha PSR keyboard, a parallel port>MIDI adapter and a MIDI sequencer that I got from the local computer store (remember those?). ) I don't know, I always have trouble talking about myself… on the other hand I can talk about gear all day! I work with sound and attempt to make music. Well, my name is Justin Sullivan, I'm also known as justin3am in various online communities. ![]()
