MIDI Files

The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) lets you enhance a pres-
entation by adding computer-generated music and sound effects. Using
MIDI, you can record multiple tracks of performances from a master con-
troller, such as a keyboard, and orchestrate playback on one or more instru-
ments. You can also purchase a wide range of public domain and
commercial recordings in MIDI format.
MIDI files require only a fraction of the storage space of digital audio files.
