MIDI was developed in the 80's for synthesizers. Although early synthesizers could produce a variety of sounds, only a few could be played simultaneously. To overcome this, an interconnect language, MIDI, was developed to allow multiple instruments to be connected and controlled by one keyboard. MIDI soon found applications for organs. Besides traditional sounds, organs could provide contemporary ones by controlling synthesizers. Also, MIDI sequencers enabled organ music to be stored on computer discs for automatic playback. Basic MIDI, and derivatives such as "GS" MIDI, were not designed for organs and do not fully and easily integrate with important organ controls such as preset pistons or stops. Organists soon demanded a more intuitive system, one that fully integrated with traditional organ controls. In response to this need, Allen, who introduced the first digital musical instrument to the world over thirty years ago, introduced SmartMIDI™, designed specifically for organs. SmartMIDI™ is an integral part of all Allen products. Using advanced technology, it makes thousands of decisions per second, working in tandem with the musician to offer the ultimate artistic flexibility. SmartMIDI™ means a truly user-friendly system and is compatible with all MIDI formats, including General, GS and TG MIDI.
