Midi Systems and Control Francis Rumsey (Professor of Sound Recording at the University of Surrey (UK) Fellow of the AES and contributor to the AES Journal)
Provides comprehensive coverage of every aspect of MIDI. The second edition includes more examples of real implementations, more diagrams and the whole book has been rewritten to include a far greater practical element, to complement its existing technical strengths.
Several completely new sections and complete chapters have been added including a new opening chapter as an introduction to principles and terminology; MIDI timecode; librarians and editors.
There is a discussion of the choice of computer for MIDI control, different approaches to sequencer software design, user interfaces, the Apple MIDI managers etc. The final chapter covers Practical Systems Design.
