Page 27: What Is Midi
18_Part XIII.fm 177 ページ２００３年２月５日　水曜日　午後２時０分 Part XIII MIDI 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.
Page 28: Midi Channels
18_Part XIII.fm 178 ページ２００３年２月５日　水曜日　午後２時０分 Part XIII MIDI MIDI channels Many different kinds of performance data are sent using just one MIDI cable. This is possible because MIDI signals are sent and received through 16 different “basic channels” (numbered 1 to 16). In order for the exchange of data to take place, the channels on the transmission side must match the channels on the receiving side.
