#wireless protocols

DJs have been making great strides for gear and technology developers.  In this bottom up approach, the DJs actually have a need for mobile music making devices, and they have a need to connect and communicate with the devices around them.  Without the DJ, this need would not be as strong and there might possibly be little reason for a developer to take the task.  But there is a great demand for such a thing, so the brains behind the lab coats are now hard at work.  The MIDI is actually a very simple idea that didn’t require much computing to handle the process.  Notes were sent over a computer as commands rather than signals of sound.
