El arte hecho bytes (Parte III)


Por: GILBERTO BOCARANDA

" Despues de pretender "exponer" en forma escrita,lo que pienso sobre lo que es el sistema MIDI,dar algunas referencias y presentar algunos MIDIlinks,quisiera tambien dar a conocer a nuestros lectores algunas imagenes de los instrumentos de transicion entre los instrumentos musicales acusticos tradicionales,despues de la invencion de la Guitarra electrica, el Bajo electrico,el Piano electrico y el Organo electronico y antes del MIDI. Una especie de "dinosaurios" extinguidos que constituyen toda la era de investigacion que permitio alcanzar la "computarizacion" del sonido y por consiguiente,la computarizacion de la Musica, que es precisamente el Sistema MIDI.No son otros que los Sintetizadores Analogos (Analog Synthezisers), cuyo estudio y presentacion me gustaria dedicar un capitulo aparte,dada su notable importancia en el desarrollo tecnologico de la Musica.

Citas referentes al sistema MIDI

"MIDI is a communications protocol that allows electronic musical instruments to interact with each other." Eric Lipscomb (BITNET: LIPS@UNTVAX).

El sistema GM es toda una serie de especificaciones para cualquier instrumento generador de sonido.Tal sistema ha sido acordado entre el Japanese MIDI Standards Committee y el American MMA (MIDI Manufacturers' Association).

El Formato GS es un grupo estandarizado de especificaciones para los instrumentos ROLAND el cual define la manera en la cual tales instrumentos van a responder a los mensajes MIDI.
