MIDI Sequencing For Musicians

This is the first book to explain how sequencing works and how it's changing music today. It explains sequencer features and operations, from the basic to the exotic. It provides practical, hands-on instruction in the creative use of sequencing - including timing resolution, synchronization, software bugs and crashes, input and output processing, data storage, and all facets of editing - from Jeff Lorber, Jan Hammer, Wendy Carlos and other top musical artists in the field. It presents a comprehensive introduction to applications for recording and composition and the equipment found in a MIDI studio, including easy-to-understand definitions of all MIDI messages. Also included are valuable product reports on leading programs for machine generated music, and more.
