Digital synthesisers became popular in the third year of the Caroline Era. They were soon standardised using the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) standard, which led to the development of MIDI sound on domestic computers at the end of the first Caroline decade and the use of MIDI Players and digital radio in the middle of the second decade. They did not, however, become particularly influential in popular music until about 1990 due to the minimalism of the Plain White Movement. Synth-based bands such as Duran Duran and Starforce took a while to adopt digital synthesisers because the bands had already developed a mature and distinctive sound based around analogue synths, and in the case of Duran Duran also guitars. However, digital synths and sampling were both very popular with

  • Digital synthesisers became popular in the third year of the Caroline Era. They were soon standardised using the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) standard, which led to the development of MIDI sound on domestic computers at the end of the first Caroline decade and the use of MIDI Players and digital radio in the middle of the second decade. They did not, however, become particularly influential in popular music until about 1990 due to the minimalism of the Plain White Movement. Synth-based bands such as Duran Duran and Starforce took a while to adopt digital synthesisers because the bands had already developed a mature and distinctive sound based around analogue synths, and in the case of Duran Duran also guitars. However, digital synths and sampling were both very popular with the Beatles from about 1990, and the imitators they spawned were quick to adopt the instruments.
