 |  | What is MIDI ?| | | | | | MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
MIDI is a protocol that permits digital devices to communicate with each other, provided they both support MIDI. An example would be using an electronic keyboard to write music onto a PC.
MIDI information tells a synthesizer, in its most basic mode, when to start and stop playing a specific note. Other information shared includes the volume and modulation of the note, if any.
MIDI information can also be more hardware specific. It can tell a synthesizer to change sounds, master volume, modulation devices, and even how to receive information.
In more advanced uses, MIDI information can indicate the starting and stopping points of a song or the metric position within a song.
More recent applications include using the interface between computers and synthesizers to edit and store sound information for the synthesizer on the computer.
