MIDI

Hey, noticed your efforts on the MIDI article; nice work so far, and welcome to Wikipedia! Side note: isn't "poly pressure" distinct from channel pressure in that it doesn't affect the whole channel but rather individual notes? Mindspillage (spill yours?) 06:07, 14 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes - After googling "poly pressure", I think you're right - I admit I am mainly familiar with MIDI from the specification level, and I'm not quite as knowledgeable about the different implementations of MIDI. It looks like then poly pressure would be synonymous with aftertouch (because aftertouch messages contain note information) rather than channel pressure. To add to the confusion, I have an old Alesis MMT-8 sequencer - which it says it stores Aftertouch events but it doesn't associate a note with it - which means it really stores Channel Pressure events. Oh well... Computergeek84 12:31, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

By the way - I'd love to help start an article about the Alesis MMT-8 - despite them being manufactured over 15 years ago, people are still using them today because of their simplicity. Computergeek84 12:31, 16 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
