SUMMARY:Piano Profile Demo NAMM 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Youtube for the Piano Profile Demo at NAMM 2024 featuring Roland Artist Scott Tibbs. \n \nAt the April 2023 NAMM show\, Synthogy and Roland collaborated to showcase the first public demonstration MIDI 2.0 technology.\nAt the 2024 NAMM show they raised the bar again and showcased a demonstration of the new Piano Profile. \nThis Profile will make creating performances on one piano and playing them back on another more accurate. \nRoland Product Specialist Scott Tibbs performed. \nScott has amassed a large body of music with numerous recording artists such as Beyoncé\, Mary J. Blige\, Howard Jones\, Bruce Springsteen\, Nelly\, Lil’ Wayne\, Jamie Fox\, Robin Thicke\, Bette Midler\, Destiny’s Child\, Jazmine Sullivan\, Amerie\, Jamie Foxx\, Teddy Riley\, Omar Hakim\, Billy Cobham\, and more. \nBackground \nThe piano is arguably the most important musical instrument in Western music traditions. It is essential to all styles of music from classical to jazz to pop\, so when the MIDI Association started to develop Profiles\, a Piano Profile was at the top of the list.  \nThis piano Profile is focused on Acoustic Pianos with mechanical key mechanisms driven by MIDI\, Digital Acoustic Piano Tone Generators (both hardware and software)\, and physical MIDI keyboards that send MIDI messages and the most common of all – Digital Pianos which incorporate both Digital Acoustic Piano Tone Generators and physical MIDI keyboard. The Profile does not address electro-mechanical  pianos or the extended features of digital ensemble pianos. \nGoals\nThe goal is a Piano Profile that defines the MIDI Messages and bi-directional MIDI-CI communication necessary to allow the performance of an acoustic piano piece on one device that supports the Piano Profile to be accurately rendered on any other device which also supports the Profile. \nThe Piano Profile defines the MIDI Messages and bi-directional MIDI-CI communication necessary to allow the performance of an acoustic piano piece on one device that supports the Piano Profile to be accurately rendered on any other device which also supports the Profile.   \nThe Profile provides support for remote (over the internet) performance.   \nThe Piano Profile details what information needs to be included in a Standard MIDI File (SMF2) and the mechanisms needed to accurately reproduce a piano performance from a file.  \nThe Piano Profile addresses the following use cases:  \n\nPiano + tone generator (the most typical MIDI 1.0 use case)\nOnline live broadcasting of piano performances\nOnline lessons with a teacher and student\nMIDI Streaming of recorded piano performances\nMusic production (use of the Piano Profile with DAWs)\nSMF Online sales

SUMMARY:Orchestral Articulation Profile NAMM 2024
DESCRIPTION:There are many orchestral sample libraries in the market\, and they are essential for film scoring\, game audio\, studio\, and live MIDI applications. These orchestral libraries have many kinds of articulations.   \nFor example\, a string library might have a different set of samples for every articulation including marcato\, staccato\, pizzicato\, etc. \nHowever\, there is no industry standard method-the method for selecting these different articulations has been different for each developer.  Many developers use notes at the lower end of the MIDI note range for “key switching”\, but the actual keys used are different between different developers. Some developers use CC messages to switch between articulations\, but again there is no industry wide consistency. Some plugin formats now have the ability for per note selection of articulations\, but again the method for inputting that data is different for different applications.  \nIt is the goal of the MIDI-CI Profile for Note On Orchestral Articulation to provide a consistent way to encode articulation information directly in the MIDI 2.0 Note On message\, using the Attribute Type and Attribute Data fields. \nIn arriving at this Profile\, a study was made of orchestral instrument families\, choir\, big band instruments\, guitar\, keyboard instruments\, and various non-western instruments to evaluate the degree to which they share common performance attributes and sound production techniques. Notation symbols and performance indications were also considered to determine\, for example\, how successfully a violin note marked with a trill might result in a musically meaningful or analogous articulation when the part is copied to an instrument as far afield as timpani—all without the composer having to re-articulate the timpani part\, at least initially. \nThe Profile provides a comprehensive yet concise system of articulation mapping that includes a wide palette of articulation types and supports articulation equivalence across eight instrument categories. \nThe Profile was designed to offer articulation equivalence — a system of articulation mapping that allows a passage articulated for one instrument to be copied to another track and playedplay back with an equivalent or analogous articulation\, regardless of the target instrument type. \nWhen implemented by sample library developers\, the Profile will greatly aid composers in highly significant ways. \nFirst\, it will simplify the process of substituting or layering sounds from the same or different sample libraries; Second\, it will allow composers to quickly audition and orchestrate unison passages by copying an articulated part to other tracks and hear them to play back with equivalent or analogous articulations. \nJoin us on Youtube for The Orchestral Articulation Profile at NAMM 2024.

SUMMARY:Jordan Rudess Interview NAMM 2024
DESCRIPTION:At the MIDI@40 concert last April\, Jordan performed a piece he had composed specifically to celebrate MIDI. \nJordan played a Korg Kronos and was accompanied by players from India who recorded their parts on video. \nThose players included  MAHESH RAGHVAN on Geoshred\,  MOHINI DEY on Bass\, ELIJAH WOOD on Drums and B.C. MANJUNATH on Vocals and mridangam. \nThis performance really captured our vision for the MIDI@40 show. \nThe musicians\, composers and performance artists selected as MIDI brand ambassadors represent the beautiful diversity of cultures and people from all over the world and music from different genres and generations brought together by music and MIDI. \nThis year\, we interviewed Jordan and he performed a new composition specifically written for the 2024 NAMM show. \nJoin us on YouTube for Jordan’s appearance at The MIDI Association booth at the 2024 Winter NAMM show.
