General MIDI logo from the MIDI Manufacturers Association. General MIDI (also known as GM or GM 1) is a standardized specification for electronic musical instruments that respond to MIDI messages. GM was developed by the American MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA) and the Japan MIDI Standards Committee (JMSC) and first published in 1991. The ...
Speaker wire is a passive electrical component described by its electrical impedance, Z.The impedance can be broken up into three properties which determine its performance: the real part of the impedance, or the resistance, and the imaginary component of the impedance: capacitance or inductance.
Such hardware-specific extensions are to be avoided in MIDI files uploaded to Wikipedia. If your sound card does not support MIDI – or on OS X 10.8+ –, free cross-platform software such as MuseScore and TiMidity is able to play these files after you have downloaded them to your computer, or convert them to other sound formats.
A Roland keytar, keyboard MIDI controller designed to be worn with a shoulder strap during performance.The keytar does not produce any musical sounds by itself. As a MIDI controller, it only sends data about which keys or buttons are pressed to a MIDI-compatible sound module or synthesizer, which then produces the sounds.
Five-pin male 180° DIN connector from a 1988 Schneider MF2 keyboard by Cherry. The DIN connector is an electrical connector that was standardized by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), the German Institute for Standards, in the mid 1950s, initially with 3 pins for mono, but when stereo connections and gear appeared in late 1950s (1959 or so), versions with 5 pins or more were launched.
The Akai MPC (originally MIDI Production Center, now Music Production Center) is a series of music workstations produced by Akai from 1988 onwards. MPCs combine sampling and sequencing functions, allowing users to record portions of sound, modify them and play them back as sequences.
