    MIDI What is “MIDI”? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. (The capital letters of these four words.) MIDI is for exchanging the performance information between an electronic musical instru- ment and a sequencer etc. MIDI is an international standard, by which instruments made by different manufacturers can be connected to communicate with each other.

  • Page 87: Midi Channel

    MIDI CHANNEL MIDI has the “MIDI CHANNELS” 1 - 16. Thus, you can send your playing information divided into 16 channels through one MIDI cable. However, the channel must match between the sender and the receiver. Otherwise, you can not “hear” what the other “says”. MAJOR MIDI MESSAGE The MIDI infomation is grouped into the channel message per each of the 16 channels and the system message for the total channels.
