Presenting some thrilling news directly from Los Angeles, Tim Carroll, the CEO of Focusrite Group, has been appointed as the President of the MIDI Association. The MIDI Association is a noteworthy non-profit trade organization that strives to advance MIDI technology for artists and musicians worldwide.
Carroll has been appointed as the leader for a period of two years, as determined by the executive board of the MIDI Association. This is a significant moment in the association's history, as MIDI technology has recently advanced from MIDI 1.0 to the highly anticipated MIDI 2.0. As this new version is beginning to be incorporated into various products and software, it is a thrilling time for all individuals involved in the music products and related industries.
The selection of Carroll, who is highly regarded in the industry and serves as the CEO of Focusrite Group, is anticipated to receive widespread support from both the Association members and the broader industry. 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. Carroll and Focusrite Group are dedicated to upholding and improving the legacy left by Dave Smith, the founder of Sequential, who played a significant role in the development of MIDI and introduced the first synthesizer with a MIDI port 51 years ago.
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 offer valuable strategic input in these domains as the Association commences the distribution of grants from the MIDI Fund, which is managed 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 potential of MIDI 2.0 has just started to be recognized by the industry, and he is thrilled to collaborate with the board and all the members of the MIDI Association to shape the future of MIDI, making it more expressive, musical, and creative.
