Mike I am glad you enjoyed that NAMM Midi discussion. It is well worth watching for sure. All the guys on
that panel were great but of special interest to me were Tom Oberheim and Dave Smith. I was around setting up right at that time and I had a big Oberheim system as well as Prophet 5 and all that.
 
The thing I really got from that discussion is how well Midi has stood the test of time and how incredibly well it was thought out and all the features were implimented. I am using a fairly powerful hardware setup even today and using midi to control everything and it is all still working so amazingly well. I can still put so much expression into the music over midi. I never feel it is limited.
 
And it is great how companies like Kurzweil are using the standard midi controller codes and the like to produce extra non standard results by getting them to do things that were not even heard of then.

So are you saying you've made 30yrs of mistakes? Or you're spending the next 30 fixing the ones you've already made?
