First time MIDI user...
Midi for the Technophobe is an excellent book for newbies. It gives a very broad perspective of what is Midi and how to use it.

Not what I expected
This book provided only a minimal amount of information about midi programming and failed to explain most midi terms and how they define how midi works in a systematic way, e.g., it doesn't explain how system and control change fit into programming what you might want to do with midi.

This review is from: Sound On Sound: Midi For Technophobe (Paperback)
This book provided only a minimal amount of information about midi programming and failed to explain most midi terms and how they define how midi works in a systematic way, e.g., it doesn't explain how system and control change fit into programming what you might want to do with midi. In other words, it did not focus on midi routing that much in any detailed or easy-to-understand way. I was hoping to see something like a tree diagram, instead, the author went on to describe things like envelope shaping, digital audio and effects processing.
On the whole this book would probably be too rudimentary for anyone who already owns a synthesizer or music software, as these modern day products help you to tweak sounds through user friendly programming within each device. However, I did pick up a few tips.
