It was basically designed to let synthesizers talk to each other, and then everything sort of developed from there. As near as I can figure after a brief bit of research, the first computer notation software came into being about five years later. Sequencers go all the way back to the '50s, surprisingly enough. Obviously they weren't using MIDI back then. Uh, no point to my rambling, I don't guess. -- D.
