steadyb Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 Can MIDI be scientifically explained or is it Black Magic??? Other cables exist, but only MIDI cables carry the notes from one place to another. ...and what does NAMM really stand for, hmmmm??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 I don't know if MIDI is black magic, but I have huge problems with it nontheless. Every time I try to write a piece of music using MIDI as motif I run into problems. If you transpose the letters MIDI on the white keys (keep counting past G) you realize that MI forms the deadly tritone. Add to DI part an you end up with part of a diminished chord. Who can work with this crap? Take it away. Jerry PS: Anyobody notice that 666 are the first three notes of Jingle Bells (key of D flat)? It must mean something.

Intheether Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 Can MIDI be scientifically explained or is it Black Magic??? It's a scientific standard, silly, accepted everywhere (except Japan where it's not refered to as midi). Camps are so divided on this, but I'm on the "I find it really useful" side. The five pin connector standard allows digital instruments to 'talk' with one another - so I don't really get the beef. How has it done you wrong? ~nel * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come you leave "pure as an angel" out of the Tallyrand quote? A Midi is more like Wicca than Black Magic- the Mini skirt is however without doubt a diabolical invention, designed to inflame sinful lust in the hearts of men and thus damn them to everlasting hellfire, brimstone, and an eternity of bad-hair days. -CB It just occurred to me- those 5-pins... can you say PENTAGRAM?!?!

Quite obviously NAMM is man spelled backwards, and old Satanic trick!!! As you know these Satanists are busy reversing everything that is good. So what about the additional M you ask? ....well that's a spelling mistake. Reverse spelling is sometimes harder than it appears.

Laurie Z. Posted January 16, 2002 Share Posted January 16, 2002 Then there's always Bo Tomlyn's famous definition of MIDI: "Make It Do It"...which, even after all this time, is incredibly accurate and seems like half the battle, yes? As for NAMM...well, it's not an acronym, but I guess you could call it the new toy mart for music technology retailers and addicts. :-) ! lz www.lauriez.com www.lauriez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must mean something. lol, awesome... a friend of mine once took the name "barney", and turned it into roman numerals somehow... he added the letters up and it equaled 666 so its quite obvious then that right now as we are calmly drinking coffee or playing innocent cristmas songs in the middle of january while our children watch thier cartoons that SATAN in files of evil plight has a plan to reformat my computer!!! i see his evil plot.. plug in the midi he asks me.. it'll help you play music.. no sooner than a boy scout eating a girl scouts cookie that i plug it into my computer and BAM!!! Im falling into the abyss with swarms of midi cables wrappping around me and horrible, horrible old school tracks of midi playing britney spears drown my ears... can i escape?? is it possible? OH LORD!! sacred firewire save me!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
