Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Exhaustive if Uneven
This book is informative. Too informative. It explains everything you ever wanted to know about MIDI and in the process explains very little. Much is due to the datedness of the examples but also the over-technical presentations.
I have a recording degree and have been working with MIDI for years and years, so I know a thing or two about MIDI, recording, etc. But this book, while highly championed for the educational landscape, tends to be one of those "assigned but never read" projects ... Read More
Rating:  - A musician from Los Angeles
This is the clearest and most complete book on MIDI there is...and I've tried them all. The authors explain even the most tweaky tech stuff clearly, without repetition or ambiguity.
The book is essential because it doesn't focus on specific products--which go in and out of favor--but teaches you the capabilities of the technology itself. So whether you're shopping for a sequencer or an interface, you know what you need and how to evaluate the products out there now.

Rating: - Still a great reference.
Although it's showing its age, and it doesn't cover a lot of new developments like sound cards and virtual synths, this is still an extremely valuable book for anyone who wants to understand what MIDI is all about.

This book is still ... Read More
Rating:  - Terrible
Totally outdated, this work teaches nothing. Rambling, disorganized and often repetitive, the authors do not know how to write at all. Totally focused on a few software titles, the Apple platform, and having no information on MIDI for internal sound cards, the book is worthless to current readers.
Rating: - This is THE reference work for MIDI users of all kinds.
MIDI For The Professional, now in its second edition, is the standard textbook for college-level courses in MIDI in the US and abroad. It has received rave reviews Keyboard, the Electronic Music Foundation, the IMA Newsletter, Piano & Keyboard magazine, and many other publications. For the serious MIDI user--performer, composer, programmer, multimedia author, equipment designer--there is no better source of information. Paul Lehrman is one of the best-known authors and teachers in the electronic music and ... Read More
