MIDI Files
The musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) lets you enhance a presen-
tation by adding computer-generated music and sound effects. Using MIDI,
you can record multiple tracks of performances from a master controller,
such as a keyboard, and orchestrate playback on one or more instruments. 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.
