MIDI
Further Reading
A Supplimentary document to the series of articles
MIDI for Beginners
by
Kevan R.Craft.
Published in AM/FM - Amiga Musicians Freeware Magazine
As a follow up to the AM/FM series of MIDI articles, AM/FM readers will be
pleased to know that I've prepared a reading list together with some useful
addresses which may prove to be of some use for future reference.
The first thing to remember, is that upon being presented with the concept of
MIDI for the first time, the experience can be quite daunting to say the least.
As a relative newcomer to the computer scene myself, I have only been using
the computer together with a sequencer and MIDI hardware for about two years
now and I would like to think that YOU too can also develop within a relatively
short time to be able to produce MIDI compositions using this amazing
technology.
I would also like to recommend that you follow on from the series of articles
on 'MIDI for Beginers' published in AM/FM and gain more knowledge and
information concerning MIDI from other sources. Indeed, there's a wealth of
information concerning this area of making music in various publications that,
for a resonable price, both specialize and simplify, but more importantly,
explain the various aspects of MIDI for the concerned reader, whether you are
technically compitant or just a beginner.
In MIDI music and technology there is always something new to learn, the ever
increasing sea of available synth hardware and computer software for the MIDI
musician ensure the never ending quest for knowledge. I would like to think
that as computer users we possess the perception to stimulate and make freely
available communication, after all that's what music making is all about. And
if musicians who exploit MIDI technology can share this knowledge then maybe
the flow of music, which is a universal language, can be enjoyed by eveybody,
both musicians and people who love listening to MUSIC alike...
