Abstract Since the MIDI 1.0 specification, well over 15 years ago, many have been the attempts to give a solution to all the limitations that soon became clear. None of these have had a happy ending, mainly due to commercial interests and as a result, when trying to find an appropriate synthesis control user interface for the SMS (Spectral Modeling Synthesis) Framework, we had not many choices but the use of MIDI. That's the reason why the idea of defining METRIX aroused. In this Website you will find the main achievements of the Metrix project.
