Since its conception in 1983, MIDI has been one of the major driving forces in the development of electronic music. Now, with the standardization of the self-powered USB format and major advances in music software and hardware, MIDI has become a more prominent and powerful tool than ever in digital art expression. RL REALIZATION: Showcase a representative variety of today’s different MIDI controllers, each mapped to a unique and innovative collection of sounds/controls. Up to 5 can be slaved to one computer for an interactive and thorough experience. SL REALIZATION: Since midi is simply a digital language used to trigger sounds, the SL exhibit consists of a simply interface that speaks key words paired with an abstract digital instrument interface. It's functioning mirrors both the direct individual note triggering as well as some basic "MIDI" messaging.
