Communication between arrangers - 08/06/08 01:27 PM
I am starting this new thread, leading on from comments made by Diki in another thread about communication between arrangers.
Diki's post got me thinking....
Maybe as a community, arranger players can lobby the Midi Manufacturers Association (MMA) to have them come up with a industry wide specification for the communication between arrangers specifically.
No sounds or style parts need to change at all on the receiving keyboard..They all have variation 1,2 3 or more, intro 1,2 or more etc etc. They all have auto-start, pretty much the same chord recognition, recognise splits.
All that is required is for the MMA to come up with a command syntax to be adopted by all arranger manufacturers at the basic level. Like midi you could have higher level commands if you wanted, but I don't see these as necessary.
What do others think? Is it a worthwhile crusade, or not?
Don't be shy say what you think, even if you think it's a dumb idea and a waste of time.
