MIDI MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a world-standard communication interface that allows other MIDI-compatible instruments and equipment to transmit information and control one another. This makes it possible to create “systems” of MIDI instruments and equipment that offer far greater versatility and control than is available with isolated instruments.
