“I created a MIDI output interface that could be retrofitted into accordions”

Such a waste of effort and the time for so many years. You might be and electronic engineer, but otherwise scary in business and the great opportunity looser.
The Austrian, Italians, Swedish, Slovenian made huge progress and created 1000′s jobs, and now all of them make money selling that product to USA. “And here, he comes” – telling us story of “self-nothing- eccomplishments.
It’s nothing to be proud off with such an outcome for the Accordion MIDI Interface initial diploma project. Somebody powerful should send you to North Slope in Alaska to work as a laborer till the rest of your life for such a fiasco. As far as I can see, your engineer diploma was mistakenly awarded.
Learn quickly to play accordion, start improving the Accordion MIDI interface, and rehabilitate yourself my friend.

I followed MIDI from the very beginning, buying a Korg Poly 800, one of the first Yamaha DX7s, and some of the early Roland digital drums, wiring them all together into a giant furball of noise. But, it was synchronized noise! The noise generators talked together! :)

Like CMIS, MIDI won’t be perfect, but it’ll be great fun, and the resulting “symphonies” of content-exchange will give rise to some interesting synergies, I’m quite sure.

I recently bought a Midi keyboard (with looots of controllers) to play with the fabulous software synthetizers we have nowadays on our Macs and PCs, and was amazed to find that all I learned about Midi 15 years ago was still current.

Let’s hope CMIS will allow the same level of universal interoperability and have an equivalent lifetime!

Don’t know about CMIS, but one of the reasons for the success of MIDI was its simplicity, and it lasted until now because it is an open framework that can accept new extensions that weren’t initially foreseen. Another similar example is XMPP!

I don’t think he’d play a MIDI accordion, but that can be useful for notation. And it was a cool thing to implement back then anyway ;-)

and they just let you freely walk around?

(seriously though, I love me some Flaco Jimenez)
