  5. Let’s create more musicians In my experiences over the last 4 years, I have met with many ‘home based’ musicians who are enjoying writing and arranging songs on their keyboards and computers for enjoyment, for rehearsal purposes, for motivation for their children and for adding to home videos. And these people would not consider themselves as a ‘musician’ but rather as using music as a hobby.

  6. Tonight’s Equipment Tonight, I will be using a Compaq laptop with XP Home The keyboard is a Roland PC300. All connections are via USB cables The sounds that you will hear will be through a) An SD 80 Sound Module (via USB MIDI) b) An Edirol Software synth plug-in c) A stand alone Roland Virtual Sound Canvas - VSC 88H3 The software is Cakewalk Home Studio I am using a UA700 as my midi and audio interface

  7. Midi? Vs Audio? A midi file consists of a list of instructions or ‘sequence’ that tells the synthesizer, keyboard or sound card which note to play, Midi files have the ‘mid’ extension and do not contain digitized audio as in a wave file and is a tiny fraction of the size since it only consists of instructions Quality of playback entirely dependent on quality of synthesizer, keyboard or soundcard regardless of how well the sequence has been prepared.

  8. Midi in Musical Performance An invaluable aid in rehearsing for a concert Can provide accompaniment for singer or instrumentalist Can mute out any track and play along with accompaniment Ideal for speeding up or slowing down music without altering pitch Music can easily be transposed to another pitch to suit singers These effects are more difficult with analogue recordings
