This course offers a deep understanding of MIDI, focusing not just on the mechanics but on the logic behind how MIDI works and what problems it solves. You will learn to interpret the relationship between human gestures and machine language, exploring core concepts incrementally to build a solid foundation. By the end, you won't just memorize MIDI commands; you'll gain insights into the principles that govern them, enhanced by practical demonstrations with real equipment.
