MIDI Questions....
How did you guys learn about using midi? From books? Courses? Manual info from Cubase, Logic etc?
Id like to know how to do basic midi sequencing.
Cheers
DS

Through experiementation and a few really good articles in SOS, Future Music, Computer Music etc.
Sometimes they will do a special "midi sequencing workshop" in some of the mags. Well worth a read

Most of it i learned from a guy from my old work. I didn?t know anything at that point and he knew litlte. Then we kinda teached eachother what we had come up with on the internet, by reading manuals and by the "learning by suffering" method when we had coffee breaks. There?s loads of MIDI guides on the internet and some synth manuals are also usefull. I belive there?s some links somewhere in this forum to tutorials in MIDI and sequensing...

I was quite fortunate as I learnt about MIDI basics when I was 8 - they say the brain soaks up information much more easily at the age.
I don't think MIDI is complicated at all. There is a certain fear of it that I don't quite understand.

It is quite daunting at first. A year ago it was all boggling the mind, now I'm doing all sorts of crazy stuff with midi and loving it. Midi is going to be the standard for a long while yet.

I cut my teeth on midi using the built in 8 track hardware sequencer of an old Ensoniq esq-1 It was from that old beast that I learned to harness the power of the numbers 0 thru 127

i've learnt midi in 98 i think, only by few articles from the net and few experimentations, mainly using a soundblaster, Fruity Loops and a Roland JX8P. Very basic stuff, but i was able to record and play back a midi sequence.

Im thinking of getting myself a midi book. Any recommendations? Are most of them written with Cubase in mind?
How do you guys write midi sequences? Note editors? Playing it in? Also....if your playing is a bit sloppy...or its complicated....do you have to use a high quantisize value (i.e. 1/12  ? Also, lets say youve made a short midi bass sequence....how do you loop it? Such noobi questions I know....but these are my main concerns just at the minute.
Cheers guys
