What is MIDI?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is the international standard for digital communication of elec-
tronic musical instrument data. This means that any equipment which has a MIDI terminal—such as elec-
tronic musical instruments and personal computers—can easily exchange digital data with other MIDI
equipment without resorting to complicated conversions or connections.
