    MIDI is a protocol that allows electronic musical instruments and other digital tools to communicate. It transmits digital data about musical notes and commands in serial format through cables and ports. MIDI messages convey instructions like note on/off, pitch, velocity and other parameters to control synthesizers and effects. It finds applications in music recording, performance, notation, education and more.

    What is MIDI?
    MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a protocol developed in the !"#$s which allows electronic instruments and other digital musical tools to communicate with each other.

    Some Clarification: MIDI doesn%t directl& descri'e musical sound. MIDI is not a language. It is a data communications protocol.

    MIDI Transmission

    (inar& )li*e all digital+ Serial , one 'it at a time. As&nchronous , devices can send messages whenever the device decides. -ne wa& , MIDI ca'les onl& carr& messages in one direction. . logical channels. Transmission speed )original standard+ , / 012# 'its per second )/ .12 *'its+.

    MIDI Software
    The MIDI Software application falls into four ma:or categories;

    MIDI Messages
    MIDI messages are '&tes that are interpreted '& the MIDI devices

    The messages are used to conve& a series of instructions to one or all of the MIDI devices within the s&stem

    3hannel Message
    Messages that are transmitted on individual channels rather that glo'all& to all devices in the MIDI networ*. Channel voice messages:

    Instruct the receiving instrument to assign particular sounds to its voice Turn notes on and off Alter the sound of the currentl& active note or notes Channel mode messages: 3hannel mode messages are a special case of the 3ontrol 3hange message The difference 'etween a 3ontrol message and a 3hannel Mode message0 which share the same status '&te value0 is in the first data '&te. 3hannel mode messages determine how an instrument will process MIDI voice messages.

    S&stem Messages
    S&stem messages carr& information that is not channel specific0 such as timing signal for s&nchroni<ation0 positioning information in pre, recorded MIDI se?uences0 and detailed setup information for the destination device. System real time messages:
