The CEO of Focusrite Group, Tim Carroll, has been appointed as the President of the MIDI Association. This non-profit organization based in Los Angeles aims to improve MIDI technology for artists and musicians worldwide.
Carroll has been chosen to lead the MIDI Association for a period of two years, a decision made by the association's executive board. This is a significant moment in the association's history as the MIDI technology has recently advanced from MIDI 1.0 to the highly anticipated MIDI 2.0. With this new version gradually being introduced in various products and software, it is an exhilarating time for individuals involved in the music products and related industries.
The industry and the wider community are anticipated to highly support the appointment of Carroll as the new CEO of Focusrite Group. Carroll is a respected figure in the industry and has previously held a position at Focusrite Group. This company is known for its renowned synthesizer brands like Sequential and Oberheim, as well as the MIDI controller and synth company Novation. The founder of Sequential, Dave Smith, who played a significant role in the development of MIDI and introduced the first-ever synthesizer with a MIDI port 51 years ago, has left a lasting impact that Carroll and Focusrite Group are dedicated to preserving and improving upon.
In addition to overseeing MIDI for manufacturers and developers, the MIDI Association is also dedicated to promoting MIDI innovation, music education, and the connection between music and wellness. Carroll will be offering valuable insights in these fields as the Association begins to distribute grants from the MIDI Fund, which is administered by the NAMM Foundation.
Carroll conveyed his excitement about his recent position, emphasizing the significance of this moment for the MIDI Association. He believes that the industry has only scratched the surface of what MIDI 2.0 can achieve and is thrilled to collaborate with the MIDI Association board and its members to shape the future of MIDI, bringing forth its innovative and artistic possibilities.
Keep an eye out for further updates as we track Carroll's progress in guiding the MIDI Association into a thrilling new phase!
