What is MIDI?

MIDI, short for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a protocol for playing digitally generated sounds. Though it is not inherently an audio file, it contains the data output from electronic musical instruments. MIDI describes the pitch, velocity, volume, vibrato, etc. of whatever is being played.

It is a standard way for devices to communicate, which means maximum compatibility.
