BT Talks about MIDI timing inaccuracies...
Yeah, I'm actually a BT fan (and I thought The Binary Universe was the best electronic album of '06). But sweet jesus' comment on his hair was pretty damn funny. Everyone knows BT is a product endorsing whore and pretty boy, so it's all in good fun when we take jabs at him.Machinate wrote:rikhyray, coming on here and calling people pathetic and bitter doesn't make you seem as professional as you think you are. People lashing out towards BT because of his image is one thing, you lashing out against other forum users is another.
Be. Nice.

I have a serious question for anyone who might know:
I'm listening to BT for the first time, on pandora.com. If this guy doesn't use any midi, how does he produce his music?
I mean any electronic sound source needs to be triggered somehow. Is he using all audio loops, or audio tracks, and really no midi?

He's a classically trained pianist; really quite the prodigy at a young age. I don't know his production methods but I wouldn't be surprised if records everything live.Vertical wrote:I have a serious question for anyone who might know:

Yeah, it blows me away that someone/anyone can come into this forum and diss Dave Smith.nolus wrote:care to justify that remark?rikhyray wrote: it was never really great concept.
I'm actually being serious. It really does amaze me that you can can disrespect arguably the most innovative person in the history of electronic music becuase you don't understand the concept of midi.
BT can go back to the salon/boyfriends house and bitch about it there. When he invents his own protocol or has a suggestion on how to make an existing one better maybe I'll listen.

Reaktor uses it internally, same with Lemur. One of the performance side wishes for the next Live was that Live would have been one of the first big DAWs to fully support it, and hence have a head-way with far more superior electronic controllers. Alas, it didn't happen yet. --Kent

And a lot of latency issues would be gone, and the responses would be very quick, hence more playable external instruments. Not to speak of better resolution for controls (i.e. really nice smooth sliders), and the option to just expand on the protocol into Nth degree with all kinds of objects sent here and there. I think it would also really open up the world of UI-related touch screen systems, there was a reason Lemur is using OSC... --Kenthoffman2k wrote:If Live HAS OSC, then a lot more manufacturors (read Behringer, m-... urgh i cant say it.

If Live had OSC I think I would get some OSC equipment!

Hardly even cost, to be honest. network systems are dirt cheap, the data is simple.noisetonepause wrote:There's absolutely no reason to stick with MIDI, except for cost.
Having said that, companies like Korg fully admit to burning the firmware into their products instead of making it user-upgradable... despite buggy/lacking behaviour...
