To MIDI or not to MIDI, that is the question?
Presented by: Robert Tall
A pioneer in the field of MIDI, Dr. Robert Tall has worked since 1984 in various capacities to help create and develop digital systems that allow MIDI to communicate to classical organs. He has been influential in the creation of Sound Modules that store digitally recorded samples from world-renown pipe organs, as well as, instruments of the orchestra, the human voice and those of ethnic mix. He calls the classical MIDI organ, The Modern Organ, for which he has composed, arranged and recorded music. His performances and lectures are highly entertaining. He enjoys sharing the magic!
