The June NAMM MIDI Zone Virtual Tour

F1D9092E-140A-420C-A2EB-3742CA2A6754

NAMM puts MIDI on the map at the June NAMM show 

We covered all the MIDI Association booths (10300, The MIDI Zone Lounge and Studio 108) in our last article and now it is time to dive into the booths of MIDI Association and AMEI members at the June NAMM show.  

With NAMM's cooperation, we were able to put together a solid block of MIDI Association companies all centered in the same physical area and even with a consistent look and feel.

Basically all of the companies you see in the picture below are MIDI Association members.

 Amenote had a number of products at the show that were all based off the core design of the ProtoZOA MIDI 2.0 prototyping tool.
