"From what I have seen there have been changes all along since 1985 still using MIDI. Twenty years ago or so some people were saying MIDI was dead because audio processing became accessible. However, from what I have seen MIDI has continued to grow/change/etc. and is still useful for those people who know how to use it for what they want. Yes, there are still deficiencies, but there will always be issues with any technology."
"A few years ago, a VZ user even wrote a web-based/browser VZ editor. That could not be done in 1985. And last I checked, it worked on modern computers!!!!!! (Although with changes web browsers have been known to change web-based code."OK? This doesn't reflect on MIDI as a technology either, though.
"I am glad you acknowledged you haven't kept up. That speaks well of you and your input (in my opinion)."Is this a sleight? Whatever. These lists tend to devolve into p*ing contests between small handfuls of people, and I can't be bothered with it.
