Whither General MIDI?
Or is that wither, General MIDI? At one point, you led a crusade (http://www.fatman.com/fatlabs.htm) to improve General MIDI synthesizers. Are they now as good as they’re going to get? How are composers of interactive music using GM now? Or MIDI in general?

Quality of Life and a music question…
Many moons ago, there was a great software company called Intelligent Music who made a great piece if software called “M”. which was later distributed by Voyetra. Do you know it? Do you have any industry pull to get the code open-sourced? I actually have a copy of the source, however I can’t (won’t) do anything with it, because while the author gave me a copy, he didn’t have the authority to open up the license. It was GREAT. I MISS IT.

A good question. I got some news on this yesterday. Let me see if it is under NDA, and if not, I’ll blurt.

Good for you, respecting the IP and all that.

M was way cool, especially for its time. I may be able to get some dialog going. You can save me some work if you happen to know who currently owns the rights to the code.

Thanks!
Colossus is a great example. It made me recall composer Christopher Franke’s comment that he uses a GM-type setup (albeit with his own sounds) so that he can start recording right away without having to configure anything.

And I may be wrong, but I think Mark Miller was the head of the IASIG branch of the MMA (IASIG.org), not the MMA itself. —BB
