Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: MIDI Manual Comment: This is an excellent general overview of MIDI at this time (2008). I, however, was looking for something that had more practical tips or techniques for making more realistic MIDI files. This book only has a few tips for producing better MIDI files. I have not found a text devoted to that topic yet. But, for what it aims to do, this is an excellent text. Customer Rating: Summary: Worth the Read Comment: I bought the book to be used as the text for a college class. Many good MIDI books are out there, but this one is the best from what I've seen. MIDI has not changed much over the last decade however computers have. It is therefore very important to use the newest text on the subject. Written in a straight forward manner, good aspects to MIDI are conveyed. Latest equipment is mentioned, good resource. Customer Rating: Summary: the midi manual, third edition Comment: this book is a required text for my son's course, and he has found it easy to follow. More Reviews
