MIDI and audio data
MIDI data is comprised of your keyboard
performance information and is not a recording of
the actual sound itself. The performance information
refers to which keys are played, at what timing, and
at what strength—just as in a musical score. Based
on the recorded performance information, the tone
generator outputs the corresponding sound. Audio
data, on the other hand, is a recording of the
performed sound itself. This data is recorded in the
same way as that used in recording with voice
recorders, etc. This data can be played with a
portable music player, etc., allowing you to easily let
other people hear your performance.
