I LOVE exposure to new music...especially music I may not understand(!) Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps (okay, that was last century), I loved IMMEDIATELY. Charles Ives and Edgard Varese needed several listenings before I "resonated with" them, for lack of better terms. I imagined Milton Babbitt's music to be enclosed, or perhaps in an intellectual "closet". Quite the opposite! His music, to me, has immense variety. In fact, some of the extreme dynamics, I don't believe can be REALIZED by instruments, though expressive as they were rendered. But mainly: my attitude was demolished. I'm utterly impressed! Similar with Charles Wuorinen... I LIKED "Time's Encomium" LOTS, but his later instrumental works outshone his electronic works; he favored writing for instruments rather than electronics as time went on anyway. To ME(!), though, Babbitt was a genius.

Would have been nice if that student hadn't've decided to stand right in front of the camera so we couldn't see what the lecturer was doing.

Dave Smith on Keyboards and Les Paul on guitar invented some of the most important things that have changed music forever. They are the kings I bow to !!!! Even Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin is on video with Les Paul. And even Eddie Van Halen and Michael Jackson achieved massive success thanks to Dave Smith's sequencer and Midi inventions. Thank you Dave for coming to Earth and leaving it much better. I personally use his technology in my music which I would have never been able to otherwise.

This goes to show that people turning down an idea after hearing it for the first time doesn't mean anything... the companies that initially turned away from MIDI still ended up implementing it into their gear.

The historical records and documents of the time don't really show it that way. What stories get told and repeated until they almost become fact.. almost.

I came to appreciate Milton Babbitt after years of just respecting him. His music has grown on me over the years and now I love it. Quintessentially American and 20th century to boot!

Oh man I miss this guy. He just got the Sequential name back too. And the company has already slowed down. They haven't had a late summer release this year which was their typical release cadence under Dave. And I am having a hard time seeing who might step up here. Tiny industry and Dave kind of single handedly revived analogue design. He will be missed. Huge hole that we might not be able to fill in the short term.

MIDI is just so brilliant to this day! Why computers took so long to go from big SCSI connections, to ATAPI to PCMCIA et al. And now the myriad of USB types. That's why I gave up on music, as it just got so insane with the computers, interfaces, configurations, controlling, etc. And why in this day of age hasn't Yamaha teamed up with LG or Roland with Alien or HP to make a 'Studio Laptop'? Fully loaded with synths, effects, recording, and compatibility with all plug in's AND at least 5 MIDI IN/OUT/THRU jacks on the side or back? And a docking station with 6 XLR's, 6 1/4" in's, RCA's, USB, etc. Plop the lappy in, and the studio is all connected. Pull the lappy out, and you can work on the road with it, gig with it, plop it in a studios dock, etc. Atari and Yamaha were ahead of their time, and no one has since bothered....?

True, but I also think he was aware: he went to trade shows, and had plenty of people coming to talk to him/thank him, which "as a musician" (I play plenty of 'IRL' instruments, like guitar, bass, piano, etc., but also have done tons of nerdy electronic music work) - I definitely owe Smith and others a debt of gratitude for the work they did in standardizing electronic music input/outputs, which even if you do nothing with synths, is central to how DAWs operate.
