	Guess their push for zipi wasn't enough of a push,... I've never heard of it. Nothing on MIDI? Most of computer music uses MIDI. I still use Time Code and MIDI events as my main time references. Films scores, CD Mastering and pre-Mastering all use Time Code, and MIDI is the common intermediary. Yeah,... does sound a little narrow. IEEE and AES I guess are somewhat broader by comparison. AES Convention was where I first met Dr B, and found out about Csound. Got the book two weeks later,... been learning about this stuff ever since. "Ad hoc, ad loc and quick pro quo, so little time, so much to know"--- from the movie Yellow Submarine (circa 1968, I think). My fortune cookie thought for the day. -Partev =================================================== --- vip@avatar.com.au wrote: From: DavidW <vip@avatar.com.au> To: csound@lists.bath.ac.uk Subject: Re: [Csnd] [OT] ICMC...

I went to a few a decade or so ago, including board meetings, and found them myopic and sycophantically inclined. Stuff like: remember zipi? One year (Japan?) they decided to accept no papers on midi because they wanted to push zipi. And its focus is _so_ narrow and philosophically biassed towards cognitivism. Thank goodness there are other alternatives these days, so it can easily be ignored.
