Stop for a moment: Have you ever heard the soft sigh your Facebook profile makes as you scroll through it? Have you never paused to wonder at the delicate hum that lurks behind the Google search box? When you type in your search query, it pays to listen more carefully: Behind the scenes, you can just about discern the soundtrack of the Googlebot, singing to itself in the darkness, a score written by robots and conducted by HAL. Now imagine spending the same amount of time listening to those activities, double-tracking your ears alongside your fingertips. Those minutes spent composing the shot, applying the most appropriate retro filter, and uploading it to this week’s most fashionable sharing platform. All that furious clicking to check in at a location, and to do so before someone else can. Such as what you are doing right now:Ĭonsider those hours spent updating social networks. In some cases (in many, when talking digital) you have to apply the same effort to listening as you do to the creative activity in the first place. It might not be one your ears are adjusted to-evolution, after all, is something no species can afford to hurry-but it’s there for the hearing. Some people will scoff if you claim that the internet produces any sounds at all, but they are the people who have never stopped to listen. Our digital lives have sounds too, but you have to lean in a little closer to hear them. We screen out the humming, roaring, beeping, clicking, and tapping in our environment, because we’re so accustomed to it being there. In the real world, the sounds we humans make (or cause our machines to make on our behalf) have merged into nature’s audio backdrop. The real world-meatspace-sounds like coughing and arguments and the slurp of liquids from cups. Our real lives exist in an uninterrupted bubble of sound. Courtesy the artist and bitforms gallery nyc. It's only gotten worse.Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Microphone, 2007. MIDI sequence playback was once great on OS X. MIDI playback will not be coming back to OS X.' Even after educators brought this up.

* No more MIDI Sequence Preview or Midi Sequence playback is possible, unless you download an older version of QuickTime, which, as of Yosemite, is pushed through a 'Compressor' effect and drowned out to fuzzy trash. The best example I can give is Doom II's Title screen music that inserts pitch bends after keyoffs. * Some effects are not supported or interpreted incorrectly. Program change messages are not acknowledged until a note plays, so there is a lag behind by one note. The problem is QuickTime does not handle MIDI program changes properly. Here are the problems with any SMF playback through OSX 'Software synth': The issue is that people confuse SMF sequences with MIDI as a standard - they are not the same.

But, the software synth used to play back SMF sequences is hot garbage. MIDI as an interface is 'really good' in OS X. I dunno where this came from, but it's never been the case. In general the built-in MIDI on Macs is really good, I expect they've invested a lot in making it good since lots of musicians use Macs. There are definitely some exceptionally nice instruments in there, some of which I've even ported over for my own personal use in Reason, but it's not relevant to standard MIDI playback (which IMO is best suited to the simple and familiar sounds that most MIDIs are being composed with in the first place).

Last I checked you could get MainStage, a program intended to assist with live performances, for $15 on the app store, and it includes the entire GarageBand instrument/sample/loop library and all of the expansion packs that were ever released for it.

To expand on what Fraggle said about high-quality instrument sets, though, Apple has bundled a ton of their old products and newer acquisitions into their music production software and is selling it for pennies on the dollar compared to what any competitor can afford to do. I've not found one that really does the job satisfactorily. It would be really nice if someone would make a simple and functional freeware midi player that could take up the task since QuickTime dropped support for it. (And reverb.) As of the past couple of OS versions, though, I don't know of any simple and functional way to just play a damn midi file without opening it in my Win7 VM, which is disappointing. It used a simple and familiar-sounding Roland SoundCanvas-based instrument set, similarly to Windows' built-in midi playback, though with some annoying oddities and idiosyncrasies.

MIDI playback on Mac OS was historically QuickTime-based, I believe.
