Introduction

Hopefully, those interested in setting up their own Definition MIDI studio will find the information in this article useful.  To the best of my knowledge, the technical info in the following articles are correct.  If anyone finds something to be inaccurate, I welcome all corrections, comments and suggestions.  So, please, give me a holler!

Occassionally, product references that can be found at one of our affiliate partners will be highlighted using a "thumbs-up" logo BuyIt! and the name of the product or product category.  Simply click on the link to check price and availability.  Also, some words or phrases may have an expanded definition; these will be designated with a little " Buy It! computer-guy" icon plus the term: Definition Term.  Simply click on the link and another window will open with more information.  If the link is a not a product or definition, but some other related external web site, it will be preceeded by this graphic: WebLink

I've been writing and Buy It! recording music for over 20 years.  It is my passion. . . it is my fetish.  I'm not famous or anything, but I ainīt half bad.  My articles come from my own personal experiences trying to get my music as properly recorded as possible in my own studio.  I hope you find my MIDI Primer helpful.

Studio Jargon
Triangle Wave
A geometrical waveform typically generated by an oscillator. It is triangular in shape and comprises the same sequence of only odd numbered (1, 3, 5, 7, etc.) harmonic partials as the square wave, but as the amplitude of each harmonic is the reciprocal of the square of the harmonic number (i.e. the 3rd. harmonic is a 9th. the amplitude of the 1st.), the sound is much weaker or more mellow. See also Pulse Wave, Ramp Wave, Sine Wave, Square Wave.
