In 1983, the second most successful computer networking protocol was born. Unlike those that underpin the Internet, the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) was not created by an academic offshoot of the military wing of the United States, but by a consortium of synthesizer manufacturing companies led by Dave Smith of Sequential and Ikutaro Kakehashi of Roland. At first, this new protocol was mostly used to connect synthesizers and drum machines together, but the advent of powerful and affordable computers such as the Atari ST led to the development of the grandparents of the Digital Audio Workstations we use today.

Pentagram partners Sascha Lobe and Yuri Suzuki have designed the new identity for the Musical Instrumental Digital Interface (MIDI), based on musical forms and frequency waves.
The work includes a new logo (static and sonic), sound design, video and motion graphics as well as typography.
MIDI is used by musicians, producers and DJs as a way to create and share musical work. Before MIDI technology, there was no standardised way of synchronising electronic musical instruments from different companies.
In the early 1980s, Roland founder Ikutaro Kakehashi and Sequential Circuits president Dave Smith discussed how an industry standard could be formalised and came up with the plans for MIDI. The first instruments that used the technology were the Roland Jupiter-6 and the Prophet 600, both released in 1982.

Roland Corp., a Japanese electronic musical instrument-maker, returned to the Tokyo stock market Wednesday, about six years after delisting due to structural reforms.

Its market capitalization based on the opening price of ¥2,954 was ¥80.7 billion, making it the second most valuable company to list this year after Yukiguni Maitake Co., a firm based in Niigata Prefecture producing and selling mushrooms and other food items, which was valued at over ¥83.0 billion.
