usical nstrument igital nterface. An architecture that is used to instruct electronic instruments how to play a piece of music - think of MIDI files as "postscript" for music. QuickTime supports a data-type called QuickTime Music which is very similar to MIDI.

usical nstruments igital nterface. Originally used to link keyboards together as a replacement for the old CV-gate system, MIDI is now used for linking lighting board s together, controlling dimmers and running shows. Note that in contrast to DMX and other protocols, MIDI is event based, that is messages are sent to indicate what must changed, and the value to which it must be changed, rather than constantly updating the receiver. The data rate of MIDI is significantly slower than DMX. It is based around opto-isolated current loops.

mid usical nstrument igital nterface file is an audio file that will possibly work with any device that is MIDI aware. MIDI is in some respects similar to MOD, but it is supported on far more dedicated musical devices but far fewer computers.

This is the way to connect musical instruments (traditionally a piano keyboard) to your computer. To connect them to your computer, you need a MIDI cable and a MIDI port. The MIDI port usually doubles as a game controller port on your sound card. Instead of recording the sound that comes from the instrument, it records the notes that are played. This can then be played back in a number of ways: its speed can be changed or its tone can be changed. The most interesting aspect is that it can be applied to different instruments.

Pronounced "middy," the term is used to describe the standard itself, the hardware that supports the standard, and files that store information that the hardware can use. MIDI files are like digital sheet music--they contain instructions for musical notes, tempo, and instrumentation--and are widely used in game soundtracks and recording studios. MIDI sound files usually have an extension of .mid. If you come across any of these files on the Internet you will need a helper application configured to work on your system in order to play one of these sound files. MIDI files are just one of a few different file formats which can be embedded on a Web page with the BG SOUND= HTML tag, which causes the sound file to play when the Web page is accessed.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A means by which computers and musical instruments can communicate. It's a language that allows you to give instructions to a computer that it will then send to the synthesizer on your sound card, or to any other MIDI devices that you may have available.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI files (typically found in games or posted on web sites) trigger a set of recorded samples in your computer's soundcard and define how the samples will be played back according to pitch, tempo, and rhythm. The result is lo-fi, robotic-sounding music. But because MIDI files are mere triggering mechanisms, and not large, bandwidth-intensive CD quality audio files, they can be implemented in games without suffering a performance hit. The sound of MIDI based music is ultimately dependent on the quality of a soundcard's sample library. There are 16 MIDI "channels" for each of 16 "ports." Each channel is assigned to a particular instrument or effect, which is in turn assigned a port. Anything on the same port and channel will respond to the MIDI events that correspond (4/99)

Pronounced “middy.” A specification that standardizes the interface between computers and digital devices that simulate musical instruments. Rather than transmit bulky digitized sound samples, a computer generates music on a MIDI synthesizer by sending commands just a few bytes in length characterizing the pitch and duration of sounds (and the instruments that produce them) through a unidirectional serial cable. Each channel of a MID synthesizer corresponds to a different instrument, or “voice,” and you can program several channels simultaneously to produce symphonic sound.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a protocol that allows electronic musical instruments to talk to each other and to computers. Because MIDI files contain only a series of commands (such as note on, note off), they are very small and efficient. On the other hand, they have no sound of their own, and must be used in conjunction with a wavetable, a synthesizer, or a drum machine.

A connection over which musical instruments can be played into a computer program. This requires a special MIDI cable between the electronic instrument and the computer. The input is saved as a data file on the computer. MIDI files, therefore, do not contain any acoustic information, but rather information which notes were played on which MIDI instruments, how long and how loud. One advantage is that this format requires much less space than other audio formats such as WAV.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface, an industry-standard interface used on electronic musical keyboards and PCs for computer control of musical instruments and devices.

Musical Instrument Digital Interface -- language by which keyboards, other MIDI instruments, and computers can universally communicate.

(Musical Instrument Digital Interface; pr. "middy") A very popular standard for controlling musical instruments connected to computers.

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. A MIDI file doesn't contain actual audio data, but rather contains commands that let MIDI-capable synthesizers re-create a specific musical passage. The MIDI protocol has been used for years as a way for electronic musical instruments (like digital keyboards and sequencers) to communicate with each other. Computer sound cards typically feature the ability to interpret MIDI files into music. Since they don't actually contain the music itself, but rather the commands used to re-create music, MIDI files are a lot smaller than audio files like MP3s, WMAs, or WAVs. MIDI files are small and manageable enough that it's not uncommon to find them embedded in web pages, adding a sonic element to the surfing experience. MIDI files usually appear with the ".MID" filename extension. View CD MP3 WAV to MIDI Converter and MIDI to MP3 WAV Converter.
