U page n at the sight of an acronym or unless l you've been holidaying on Mars for the last three years, you must have heard e of MIDI. If you have bravely tackled s articles about MIDI and are still s feeling left out in the cold you may be y forgiven for thinking that a conspiracy o is afoot to keep MIDI and its u secrets out of the hands of the computer-owning a public. The fact is, there has really been no down-to-earth u source of information about t MID! and rather than spend (or waste?) o a couple of pages explaining what m it is, most magazines have plunged a straight in with MIDI equipment t reviews leaving many readers stranded at the start. Let's try to i put that right. Explanations Initl; the c reviews will follow in Part Two. a What l is MIDI? l MIDI y is an acronym for Musical Instrument t Digital Interface. It was designed and developed by major musical u instrument manufacturers such r as Sequential. Roland and Yamaha n to overcome the problem of linking t together instruments produced by h different companies. Each manufacturer e has its own individual instrument design and prior to MIDI the chances of mix-and-matching without expensive interface equipment were remote. MIDI laid down rules by which musical information could be standardised in digital form and transmitted and received thorugh DIN sockets. Instruments have at least two such sockets: MIDI IN and MIDI OUT. Many also have a MIDI THRU socket which passes on information received via MIDI IN. This enables you to daisy chain together several pieces of equipment. MUSIC Midi Music and You Ian Waugh brings you MIDI without tears and explains how <strong>Commodore</strong> owners are the luckiest people in the musical world. In its simplest form MIDI works like this: if you connect the MIDI OUT of keyboard one to the MIDI IN of keyboard two, the first keyboard will transmit musical data down the cable and you will be able to splay' the second keyboard from the first. The first keyboard is known as the Master and you could connect other keyboards to the system by using MIDI THRU sockets. MIDI really comes into its own, though. when under computer control. As the signals are digital, what better way to control them than with a computer. Signals The nature of MIDI signals sometimes causes confusion. It is important to realise that they are not audio signals but digitals signals, the zeros and ones of computer language. They control the pitch and alter the instrument's performance controls such as pitchbend, modulation (for vibrato), sustain, volume, velocity, sensitivity (the hard:r you hit a key, the louder the note) after touch (pressing a key down further after playing it to produce wow or delayed vibrato, etc.) and patch changes. Not all MIDI instruments have all these facilities and it's important to realise that you can't produce after touch for example on a keyboard which does not have it built-in. Many drum machines and effects units such as echo and reverb now have MID! so you can put these under computer control, too. It wouldn't be terribly useful if you coud only control one instrument at a time - a sequencer could do that - so the MIDI specification permits up to 16 different messages to be sent at once. Each message, carrying its own YOUR COMMODORE november 1986:81 pitch and modulation information etc., is sent on a different channel, and the receiving instruments can be 'tuned in' to the channel you want them to respond to. Actually. MIDI data is transmitted serially so although information on all channels is not technically sent together it's fast enough to seem like it. When information is transmitted, a code is sent to identify which channel the message is meant for. Most instruments allow you to set the channel they will broadcast and receive on and they will ignore data intended for other channels. Under computer control you will normally allocate a different channel to each musical part e.g. channel one for the bass, channel two for strings, channel three for lead synth. etc. The software will then send the parts to the right instruments. In Use It is not essential to know how MIDI works in order to use it and although the principles are quite simple the implementation can appear quite daunting. For example, it is necessary to literally spell out every single operation you want an instrument to perform - much as you must spell out everthing to a computer. There's a MIDI code for turning a note on and one for turning it off, Some operations such as after touch require large amounts of information which can quickly use up the computer's memory. Some software gives you the option of ignoring such memoryhungry features. Normally the software will take care of all these functions,for you but some programs, especially editing packages, let you get right down to
