1.0 out of 5 stars
Out of date,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mind Over MIDI (Keyboard Magazine Basic Library) (Paperback)
My mistake was not noticing that the publication date was 1988. While perhaps still a useful primer in a general sense, the author can hardly be blamed for the specifics being out of date--after eleven years of technical advances. Try something more current.

This review is from: Mind Over MIDI (Keyboard Magazine Basic Library) (Paperback)
This is an old book, true, but it has one little bit ofinformation in it that is worth the price of the entire book. It hasinformation on Yamaha DX7 synthesizers and their serial numbers. Ittells you which serial numbers of DX7's are gonna have what Midiimplementation and what problems. Thereby, when buying a used DX7,...you will ask the seller the serial number of the synth, then look itup in this book and ONLY buy the synth if this book gives it theOK. That's the reason I'm buying it - again - I gave my old copy to afriend and it never came back.
