MIDI is the abbreviation of musical instruments digital interface. It allows the digital
instruments to communicate with each other, by sending and receiving compatible notes,
control change and program change, and as well as other types of MIDI data and information.
MIDI is an international standard. It enables all the instruments to connect together, and
allows them to control each other and exchange data. That is, it makes all the instruments a
system, and greatly enlarges its function.

controller data, and also can be controlled by outside MIDI information, which can
automatically decide the music source mode, and choose MIDI track, voice and effect, and
change the parameter and as well as perform the appointed voice.
