7.2

This section was quite useful, as well. From what Dr. Burg was telling us, it seems like there will be supplements for looping samples to get a good sustained sound for a MIDI sampler, and since that is one of the goals of this class this section is clearly very important. The later parts of 7.2 seemed a bit more tedious but understanding the content helps understand how MIDI works so I have no problems with those parts. Everything in chapter 7 was put together quite nicely, with the exception of a few typos and such. I think this was the most important chapter that we have gone over so far, so I think that a lot of time should be put into it during the lecture. However, it is possible that the students will be fairly confident with how MIDI works by that point (I'm not sure when in the course Dr. Burg plans to start having the students working with the machines), so maybe there won't be a need to focus as much on this chapter.

At the top of page 41, there is an error. In the sentence that talks about the possible error, an "s" is missing in what should be "source."
