What's MIDI?

MIDI is an acronym that stands for Musical Instrument Digital
Interface, which allows electronic musical instruments to
communicate with each other, by sending and receiving
compatible Note, Control Change, Program Change and various
other types of MIDI data, or messages. The instrument can
control a MIDI device by transmitting note related data and
various types of controller data. The instrument can be
controlled by the incoming MIDI messages which automatically
determine tone generator mode, select MIDI channels, voices
and effects, change parameter values and of course play the
voices specified for the various parts. MIDI messages can be
divided into two groups: Channel messages and System
messages.
