MIDI的开发是当代音乐最了不起的技术事件。 当年有谁能知道Roland(乐兰)公司的老板Ikutaro Kakehanshi,向Sepuential Circuits公司的Dave Smith提出的一个关于MIDI的设想,和1981年Dave Smith与Chet Wood在AES年会上提出的USI(Universal SynthAesizer Interface通用合成器接口)的粗糙方案后来会演变成一个划时代的规定?1982年Sepuential Circuits、ROLAND,KORG、YAMAHA和KAWAI等厂商共同通过了规定。这几家激烈竞争的厂商能够共同支持一个规定本身就已经是历史性的里程碑了。1983年初的MIDI规定正式发布,当时的一些厂家在执行上打了折扣,Oberheim、Rhodes、AlphaSyntauri、Buchla、E-mu、Serge等厂家保留不同意见。在下面就让我们在由《Keyboard》杂志资深撰稿人Jim Aikin撰写的MIDI 20年回顾里一起回顾一下MIDI曲折的发展历程吧！
MIDI development is the greatest technological event in contemporary music. Who knew Ikutaro Kakehanshi, the boss of Roland, a vision for MIDI to Sepaveential Circuits’ Dave Smith, and the Universal Synthizer (USI) proposed by Dave Smith and Chet Wood at the AES annual meeting in 1981, Interface Universal Synthesizer Interface) later evolved into an epoch-making rule. In 1982, vendors such as Sepuential Circuits, ROLAND, KORG, YAMAHA and KAWAI jointly adopted the rules. It is a historic milestone for these fiercely competitive vendors to jointly support a single rule. MIDI regulations were officially released in early 1983 when some manufacturers at the time had discounts on their implementation, with disagreements from manufacturers such as Oberheim, Rhodes, AlphaSyntauri, Buchla, E-mu and Serge. Let’s review the history of MIDI twists together with our MIDI 20-year review by Jim Aikin, a senior contributor to Keyboard magazine.
