Here's some exciting news coming from Los Angeles. Tim Carroll, the CEO of Focusrite Group, has recently been appointed as the president of the MIDI Association. The MIDI Association is a non-profit organization that aims to enhance MIDI technology for artists and musicians worldwide.
Carroll has been appointed as the leader for a period of two years, which was determined by the executive board of the MIDI Association. This appointment is significant as it coincides with a crucial phase in the history of the MIDI Association, as MIDI technology has advanced from MIDI 1.0 to the highly anticipated MIDI 2.0. As this new version begins to emerge in various products and software, it is an exhilarating period for individuals engaged in the music products and associated industries.
Carroll, who is highly regarded in the industry and currently serves as the CEO of Focusrite Group, is anticipated to be well-received by both the Association membership and the larger industry. Focusrite Group encompasses renowned synthesizer brands such as Sequential and Oberheim, as well as the MIDI controller and synth company Novation. Carroll and Focusrite Group are dedicated to upholding and improving upon the legacy left by Sequential founder Dave Smith, who played a pivotal role in the development of MIDI and introduced the first synthesizer with a MIDI port 51 years ago.
The MIDI Association is not solely focused on overseeing MIDI operations for manufacturers and developers. They are also deeply committed to driving MIDI advancements, promoting music education, and advocating for the positive impact of music on well-being. Carroll will contribute valuable strategic perspectives in these domains as the Association begins to allocate grants from the MIDI Fund, which is overseen by the NAMM Foundation.
Carroll showed his excitement for his new position, saying that this is a significant turning point in the history of the MIDI Association. He believes that the industry has just started to understand the full potential of MIDI 2.0 and he is looking forward to collaborating with the MIDI Association board and all its members to shape the future of MIDI, making it more expressive, musical, and creative.
