Learning More about Lighting and MIDI
MIDI information sources:
MIDI is a very versatile and complicated protocol..it's orientation toward musical applications make it
hard to understand at first for lighting people who do not have a musical background This musical
orientation is very useful for coordinating events related to musical scores, and there are lots of inexpen-
sive and powerful hardware and software devices which are very useful for non-musical applications as
well as music related lighting. It's well worth the effort to learn more!
We suggest that you pick up some issues of these MIDI related magazines, and search your area for a
music store or a computer store which has a resident MIDI expert and an extensive MIDI department.
Search out a MIDI user's group, or computer user's group which may well have an active MIDI subgroup.
There's nothing like sharing ideas!
