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.
