Not what I thought it would be,
By
This review is from: The Guide to MIDI Orchestration (Paperback)
The world of MIDI orchestration is new to me, so I thought a book that was titled "The Guide to MIDI Orchestration" would give me a comprehensive approach to the subject. But, there was little of the absolute basics - like "hook your keyboard to x and you will get y," or "Your notation/sequencer program works by folding tab a into slot b," etc. There was a cursory discussion of orchestration, but many other books cover that more competently, plenty of text was dedicated to orchestral sample libraries (always a risk when discussing a field which relies on technology which becomes obsolete so frequently), and even a bizarre section that was devoted to interviews, but altogether of little help to a rank beginner like me. So, I can't really recommend this book to someone who knows nothing about how to get into MIDI orchestration. And, if you already know what you are doing then you won't want or need this book anyway.

The information is there, but ...,
By Mitch I. (Columbus, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Guide to MIDI Orchestration (Paperback)
People who are using electronic instruments to emulate orchestras should read this book, since it has a lot of information. But be warned that the writing is inept, there are misspellings, nonstandard capitalization and punctuation, and just plain wrong words. Any editor could have fixed these problems, but the book is apparently a one-person effort.

A masterpiece of Midi orchestration,
By stuart robertson (Savannah, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Guide to MIDI Orchestration (Paperback)
As a folk musician who was overtly sceptical of anything that did not involve actual hands-on performance this book has transformed my views on midi orchestration after being persuaded to give it a go. The masterful explanation of techniques combined with the lucidity and clarity of the author's vision on arrangements and range of fascinating interviews make this the absolute must read for novice and master alike.
