About Us
MUSICODE INNOVATIONS is a small, independent company seeking to offer innovative music products. The flagship product, the MidiWing MIDI controller promises to bring real music making to people without the abilities to have success with traditional musical instruments.
Dan Daily is the company president and inventor of MidiWing. Dan earned his undergraduate degree and Advanced Certificate in Music Education at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned a Master’s degree at Indiana State University. He has been a lifelong performing musician playing many traditional musical instruments in orchestras, concert bands and smaller groups in many musical styles including classical, jazz, rock, pop, blues, reggae and Americana. He currently teaches music at the University of New Mexico’s Taos campus.
Musicode Innovations received the 2011 New Mexico Small Business Innovation Award at a ceremony in Santa Fe in May, 2012. We received assistance which enabled us to complete the design of the new prototype.
