MIDI

MIDI, or Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technology that allows electronic musical instruments, computers, and other equipment to communicate and share musical information. Instead of transmitting actual sound, MIDI sends data about notes, timing, velocity, and instrument settings. This enables musicians and producers to compose, edit, and synchronize music across different devices efficiently. Think of MIDI like a digital sheet of instructions that tells instruments what to play, when to play it, and how loudly, making it a fundamental tool in modern music production.
