Thanks. This explained everything. I am a midi expert now. At the very least, I'm no longer a midiot.😄

[frankwhite]

This feels like a non transferable credit college class.

[busyworksbeats]

Wow, you made that so simple. I've been so confused about this topic 🔥

[RaviKumar-iygk]

Hi Scott, This is the best midi tutorial across all tutorials and truly real scenario that you explained. Thanks and a looking forward for more such interesting and problem solving interesting guidance.

[tarafernandes]

Hey man, the best compliment I can give to this video is you are the Rick Beato of wireless gear, midi, and automation. Thanks, this is exactly what I have been looking for. More of this content please.

[NateLeeDub]

Scott! I have searched YouTube several times over the past year looking for a clear and concise tutorial to help me understand these MIDI concepts. I have watched several videos and downloaded books on the topic. They all explain the basics but do not connect the dots with a practical working example. I am so grateful that I found this video today! It is a game changer. Please accept my donation of $10 for this compilation of awesomeness! I love the GIFs, makes an otherwise dry & confusing topic humorous and fun to watch. Thank you, thank you, super thank you. Best ever.

I keep coming back to your videos because you're an incredible teacher - truly. My husband and I are learning so much from you. I'm an old school musician and back in the 90's/00's we just didn't have this kind of tech readily available so we never learned how to do anything beyond stomping on individual Boss pedals on a massive pedal board. But now that we're back playing out big shows, I'm trying to get us fully up to speed on the latest tech that can make the job easier, and you keep delivering! We've got equipment that we've only scratched the surface on learning but you're blowing the doors wide open for us. THANKS AGAIN!

[michaelcannon]

Well done! The funnel hierarchy helped me to understand the differences in the message "types" and what they truly control. This was the basic information that I really needed, and that everyone else skipped over and then went straight into the more complicated material.

[DennyDiamond]

Awesome. Thanks for helping an old guy understand.

[ghul.nin]

I wish I could like this video more than once. This is amazing for a total noob to MIDI like me. Very clearly explained


Because of this video, I was able to get my Line 6 POD HD500X and Boss Katana MKII to communicate with each other

[webbwoman]

This is the first video that breaks these concepts down for someone JUST starting out. Thank you!!

[migzhaleco]

This deserves more views! A hidden gem!! Will subscribe! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!

[KanePat]

Scott, thanks for this video, it was excellent! I think you have set the highest standard for instructional videos. I have never seen anything so clearly and thoroughly explained. With regard to MIDI, which is what brought me here, you are doing exactly what I want to do. I had started coding in Swift and was successfully controlling my midi device via Bluetooth but now that I know about the Onsong app I will follow your lead. Thanks a million for documenting this. Cheers Pat

[kennyholliday]

Out working cruise ships - this helps - great teacher thx 😊

[StephenRybacki]

Thanks for this! It solidified and clarified my understanding of MIDI in a guitarist's setting.

[douglasnyhof]

Best MIDI video I’ve found. Thank you. Seriously.

[michaelscottroberts]

People below in previous comments said it, and I’ll emphasize their comments by saying how grateful for this video I am. Absolutely incredible tutorial. Thank you very much!

[FernandoJavierSosa]

thank you from Argentina!
Great explanation

[CluelessGent]

This is - hands down - the very best explanation of MIDI that I've ever seen! Thank you much!!!!

[ramacanda]

Quality video mate. Just bought an MK3 Mini and it was exactly what I needed. Thanks a lot!
