MIDI 1 This Week

This week in MIDI we will review use of the Mac OS X computers, and begin looking at Digital Performer. I will also hand out a Listening Assignment.

Be sure to get your USB drive as soon as possible. You will need that to save your projects.

Here are some links to videos of the Theramin and Ondes Martenot synthesizers I mentioned in class. 

Theramin: The 2nd clip has a Gnarles Barkley cover on Theramin.

Welcome to MIDI 1!

Hello and Welcome to MIDI 1. This will be an informative and  fun class with lots of hands-on experience creating music using the latest digital technology and equipment. 

I will be using this blog to post assignments and information about what we are covering in class. Also links to information that you may find interesting and/or entertaining.

I encourage you to create a google account (if you don't already have one) so that you may post comments and questions here.

See you in class!
