Ikutaro Kakehashi commented, “I am very happy that MIDI has been regarded as a global standard by many musicians all over the world, even 30 years after its development. Also, I am honored to receive this Technical GRAMMY Award. MIDI will be around for many years, and I am sure it will be developed further to continually incorporate the latest technologies for generations to come. One of the best examples of MIDI’s continuous advancement is MIDI Visual Control, which was defined in 2011. This new standard opened the door to all musicians to control visuals with electronic musical instruments. I think musicians will really enjoy this totally new way of expression more and more in the future. MIDI has built, and continues to build, a strong ‘bridge’ [‘Kakehashi’ means ‘Bridge’ in Japanese] that connects musical instruments, computers, content, visuals and lighting with each other. I believe in the future of MIDI, and I am looking forward to seeing it.”
