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.
The control information is exchanged, such as the performance infos. of a key being touched/
released and the tone being switched, the damper pedal being pressed/released.
