We’d like to invite all our MIDI friends to meet up at the NAMM show. Just come to the MMA booth (Hall B, #9701) at 5:45 PM on Saturday, January 27.  We’ll be there and we’d like to get a picture of all the MIDI Association member at the show to share on the site.   There are now 15,000 MIDI Association members worldwide! 


Introducing Horn®- A Channel for MIDI Association Conversations

 Some of you may have noticed that that on the left hand side of the Forum page, there is something inviting you to join the conversation. 

Clicking on >MIDI  or on Join the conversation will take you to screen where you create a Horn™ account using your Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Yahoo, Github or Weibo credentials.  If you are logged in to those social media platforms you will be logged in to Horn® immediately. 

​When you first log in your microphone will be turned off. 

Click on the image of the Microphone to turn it on.  

Horn® has a lot of features.  You can share your video camera, share your screen,  chat via text, adjust the volume to your mic and basically all the things you’d expect from a fully functioning Internet meeting app.  As long as you have an Internet connection, you can chat with MIDI friends around the world. 


We are planning on a series of webinars at NAMM and either broadcasting them live on Horn® or recording them for playback later (depending on WiFi capabilities at NAMM).  

Here are the NAMM events we plan to broadcast/capture using Horn®.
