80.0. "MIDI & Sequencing issues" by FRUST::HAMILTON () Fri Nov 29 1991 06:26

I would like to start a topic which covers MIDI com-
patible instruments, sequencing and any other topics
in the music-computer connection.

As employees in a computer company and at the same time
musicians, we are in a unique position to create alot of
interesting reading on this topic.

Regards,

Scott

	>we are in a unique position to create alot of interesting reading on >this topic. Yes we are, and that explains the purpose of the DNEAST::COMMUSIC conference. There's topics about MIDI, synths, samplers, sequencing, studios, effects, recording (both analog and digital), etc. There's even multi-media issues covered in there, along with passionate proponents of any kind of personal computing and sequencing you can imagine. There are comments by beginners to those who have issued their own CD's. It's there. Yes, there is an awful lot of talent in this company, and the COMMUSIC crowd just completed their NINTH compilation tape in five years. karl
80.2	Would you recommend...	FRUST::HAMILTON		`Mon Dec 02 1991 07:24`	11
	to author of .1 Thaanks for your input. Should I perhaps cancel this topic in your view? It appears that the subject is adequately covered in the COMMUSIC conference. Regards, Scott

	Well, I'll put my two cents in here in regard to the appropriateness or inappropriateness of a sequencing note here: It is indeed a music issue. There are lots of political and "taste" issues involved here and although they've been covered in MUSIC already in some depth, they continue to make for lively discussion. COMMUSIC tends toward the technical aspect of music production. It's essentially an "equipment head's" conference. Some of that stuff is appropriate here too, but it's better discussed "over there". Anyway, feel free to talk MIDI, sequencing or the like here any time... Brian MUSIC Mod
80.4	a 'political' and 'taste' discussion	SALSA::MOELLER	take it to the bridge...HIT ME !	`Mon Dec 09 1991 17:29`	7
	Okay, I'll start. Uh... "After its near-fatal encounter with DJ's, those slimebags, REAL LIVE MUSIC has finally died, killed by soulless MIDI technodweebs that let a BOX do their playing for them." karl
80.5	anybody here know the difference?	TOOK::SCHUCHARD	don't cross me, i've got virtual connections!	`Mon Dec 09 1991 17:35`	2
	ya karl, this is a setup, right?
80.6	What is real 'LIVE' music?	BSS::STPALY::MOLLER	Fix it before it breaks	`Mon Dec 09 1991 18:51`	9
	The only real live music is done by musicians who use no crutches, like wooden, steel or plastic contrivances (such as a violin, piano or a guitar). I guess that this leaves people who make strange percussion noises with thier mouths (I've heard this done successfully with rap music on TV on the show America's Funniest People), and people who play thier armpits or whistle while someone sings along. Anything else, simply isn't really 'live' music. Jens_who_uses_midi_sequencers_heavily_and_sees_little_merit_in_arguing_this _again.
