Música en LA RED
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.
