One version to bind them all, and in the darkness rock them
p>Nothing that works this well stays cooped up. MIDI never did just carry musical events, but its role as a general purpose control system has expanded since its inception. At the same time as the microprocessor was making digital synthesisers possible, it was bringing automation to studio mixing desks and multitrack tape decks. They needed remote control for their sliders, switches, and transport mechanisms, and MIDI fitted the bill perfectly.
Likewise on stage, lighting, effects and props needed to be synched to commands and events. MIDI’s become part of that with the MIDI Show Control Standard, alongside the Midi Machine Control standard for more general use. The upshot is that if you want to add any form of control to a digital system, MIDI may be the best choice. You can pick up MIDI DJ controller decks for under a hundred dollars, ostensibly to replicate vinyl scratching, cross-fading and effects control live.
To other eyes, they look like a lot of knobs, sliders and switches with a standard interface at a very low cost, so for those building robots, control systems, software defined radios and the like, these can be the fastest, cheapest, most flexible and most reliable way to add full tweakage. MIDI doesn't encode music events, it encodes human events.
That’s why Firefox has chosen to incorporate a standard from 1982 into a 2022 browser, recognising that MIDI has every right to bring its unique and still-expanding enabling magic into the cloud for the next stage of its life story. Design, control, performance, automation - there’s now a clear path for web services to become much more human-compatible.
