MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard technology that allows electronic musical instruments, computers, and related devices to communicate and synchronize. Instead of transmitting sound, MIDI sends digital messages that specify which notes are played, how hard, and for how long. This enables musicians and producers to control multiple devices simultaneously, record performances, and edit compositions easily. Essentially, MIDI acts as a digital language that coordinates instruments and software, making complex music production more flexible and efficient without transmitting actual audio signals.
