MIDI (short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) allows a wide
variety of electronic musical instruments, computers and other

related devices to connect and communicate with one another.
MIDI carries event messages that specify notation, pitch and

velocity, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato,
audio panning, and program change information to change the
voice selections.

The instrument can output the real-time playback information via
MIDI and control external MIDI devices. The instrument can also
accept incoming MIDI messages and generate sound accordingly.
