[late on this thread, but still...] MIDI is a standard and solid and has been around for a long time. But it would be (from my point of view) a very limited standard for collaboration. It does not define the sound, it is just a protocol that controls note based instruments - of course you can say, "piano", but that is a one word description of a very complex instrument, and it gets worse when you have to deal with non-note based instrument (say, wind instruments). -- Fernando _______________________________________________ Fedora-music-list mailing list Fedora-music-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-music-list
