@senorverde09 quite

@mr4y Oh, you mean General MIDI I assume? This was in conjunction at the time when PC sound cards (eg Roland Sound Canvas) were starting to get powerful enough to house their own on-board PCM instruments (like MS GM today) and the corporations wanted their synths to follow suit. In reality, GM wasn't really necessary, as by the late 80s all synths had wide MIDI-recordable polyphony/velocity sensing keyboards and drum channels could be arbitrary (not just de facto #10) which was to par with GM.

@senorverde09 It came, but it was no standard until 1991. Since each manufacturer could implement MIDI the way they wanted, it would be hard to make two keyboardds/modules talk to each other.

@mr4y I thought MIDI came out in 1982/83ish from Dave Smith (Sequential Circuits). I know my SCI Six Trak (1984) has MIDI and so does my mark I Yamaha DX7 (1983).

@konked MIDI only became a standard in 1991, so there were no reliable samples with midi yet.

@konked and listening to those rips. no matter how good the quality is, does not compare to listening to the LP on a good deck through a tube amp.

[konked]

@electrickabuki Believe me I do having a collection of LPs & singles, some of them I have in CD format and some on hard-drives and memory sticks in order to save the originals, not downloaded but driven through soundcard and appropriate program. Well he can propably afford to spoil original instrument to a secondary MIDI controller.

[electrickabuki]

@konked lol you don't get it. It's like the difference between have original pressings of LPs and reissues.

@ImTheChopo - That makes no sense.

I can't understand why he doesn't use the moog keyboard and he digitalize the sound of the moog by sending to the digital keyboard via midi. That's the point of the moog, being analogic.
