MIDI sequencer

A MIDI sequencer is a computer program or an electronic device that lets you

arrange and send MIDI messages to a MIDI synthesizer for playback. A MIDI

sequencer can also record MIDI messages sent from a MIDI instrument and save

them as a MIDI sequence file (.MID). Many musicians use MIDI sequencers to

compose and rearrange their songs in MIDI format.

SoundFont

A SoundFont is a data format that defines the information required by your

computer to create musical notes or sound effects through wavetable synthesis for

your MIDI instrument. It is similar, in concept, to how a character in a word

processor can be applied with different character fonts to produce a different look.
