Musical Signal Processing with LabVIEW -- MIDI for Synthesis and Algorithm Control

Abstract

The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) standard specifies how to convey performance control information between synthesizer equipment and computers. Standard MIDI files (.mid extension) include timing information with MIDI messages to embody a complete musical performance. Learn about the MIDI standard, discover useful MIDI-related software utilities, and learn how to use LabVIEW to create a standard MIDI file according to your own design that can be played by any media appliance. Also learn about "MIDI JamSession," a LabVIEW application VI that renders standard MIDI files to audio using "virtual musical instruments" of your own design.
