In an exciting announcement from Los Angeles, the MIDI Association has introduced their new president, Tim Carroll. Tim Carroll is not only the CEO of Focusrite Group, but also a prominent figure in the music industry. The MIDI Association is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving MIDI technology for artists and musicians worldwide. This appointment reflects Tim Carroll's expertise and commitment to advancing the field of MIDI technology.
Carroll has been chosen by the association's executive board to lead for a duration of two years. This is a significant moment for the MIDI Association as MIDI technology has advanced from MIDI 1.0 to the highly anticipated MIDI 2.0. With the emergence of this new version in various products and software, it is a thrilling time for all individuals engaged in the music products and related industries.
Carroll, who is highly regarded in the industry and currently serves as the CEO of Focusrite Group, is anticipated to receive widespread approval from both the Association membership and the broader industry for his appointment. Focusrite Group is the parent company of renowned synthesizer brands such as Sequential and Oberheim, as well as the MIDI controller and synth company Novation. The departure of Dave Smith, the founder of Sequential and a key contributor to the development of MIDI, 51 years ago, leaves behind a lasting legacy that Carroll and Focusrite Group are dedicated to upholding and improving.
In addition to overseeing MIDI for manufacturers and developers, the MIDI Association is dedicated to advancing MIDI innovation, music education, and promoting music and wellness. Carroll will be offering valuable strategic input in these domains as the Association begins to allocate grants from the MIDI Fund, which is overseen by the NAMM Foundation.
Carroll conveyed his excitement regarding his new position, emphasizing that this is a crucial turning point in the history of the MIDI Association. He believes that the industry has just scratched the surface of the potential of MIDI 2.0, and he is eager to collaborate with the MIDI Association board and its members to shape the future of MIDI, making it more expressive, musical, and creative.
