The idea behind it The project was considered to be a true and real

investigation into a practical interface between thehuman body and digital electronics; or morespecifically, between the human hand and a MIDI

synthesizer.

( MIDI synthesizer ): are devices that electronicallysynthesize sound and play music in response to

incoming MIDI data

MIDI and the Beginnings The initial MIDI specification was developed in 1982

and various changes have been made over thecourse of its implementation. including Roland,Oberheim, Sequential Circuits and Fender Rhodes,

developed digital interfaces which allowed theirown digital instruments to work together, but theseproprietary interfaces did not permit interworkingbetween devices developed by different

manufacturers.

How it has beenmanufactured

Manufacturers used this voltage to link instrumentstogether so that one device could control one ormore others, but this system was inadequate forcontrol of newer polyphonic and digital

synthesizers. Some manufacturers created systemsthat allowed their own equipment to interconnect,but each scheme used a different transmission rate,so one manufacturer's systems could not

synchronize with those of another.

Problems Faced the lack of a universal, manufacturer

independent sound patch. ( will be explained )

Musicians using synthesizers from differentmanufacturers had to learn the differencesbetween the various interfaces and had to adapttheir work to fit within the constraints of each system

Improvements done MIDI has been improved somewhat since 1983. The

newer improvements include control over musicalfeatures like pitch bending, slurring, tremolo, andreverb. (Any new changes to the protocol must be

passed by the MIDI Manufacturers Association(MMA) and the Japan MIDI Standards Committee.)

Better sound cards have been used to improve the

sound quality

Future of MIDI andbenefits

the files are easily 1000 times more compact thandigital audio.

The properties of each note you can change arethe pitch, the velocity and the timing relative to thestart of the piece.

you can build your composition note by note, bassto alto; alto to bass, beat to beat...or you can playthe whole thing as a performance on your midikeyboard.
