Many MIDI files contain entire musical compositions. Because MIDI supports only 16 channels, however, no more than 16 different instruments can play at any time, and one of those is the key-based percussion instrument.

I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea.

I was never worried that synthesizers would replace musicians. First of all, you have to be a musician in order to make music with a synthesizer.

MIDI made a natural transition to the PC. The MIDI messages that make up a musical composition can be saved as MIDI files, which are collections of MIDI messages with timing information.

Midi is my hobby.

If you make it sound too much like a synth, it will just sound like a guitar part played on a synth.

There are only so many notes so there must be only so many melodies.

I had been playing single note instruments and I wanted to hear a guitar played as a piano.

In my piano concerto I developed this polyphony to much higher complexity.

The thing is, there are so many different ways to make music these days with virtual instruments, software applications, physical instruments, and computer programs.
