Complete beginner needs intro to MIDI ...

2007-10-05 by Cat Lake (Percussionist)

Hi ya guys
I'm actually a V-Drums user but, as MIDI is pretty much a universal language, I'm wondering if your "MIDI specialists" here would be willing to advise on where best to start?
I have the usual sockets on the TD-6 module and a reliable desktop PC with 1GB of RAM. What software do you recommend? Should I use a USB device or the old game port method of connecting MIDI instruments to your machine?
Thanks in advance for bringing me into the 21st century. I'm looking forward to exploring this new area of music production and electronic percussion as a whole.
Regards,
Cat Lake
