Musical instrument digital interface

राधे राधे
Introduction
MIDI, or Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that enables
electronic musical instruments, computers, and other equipment to communicate and
synchronize with each other. Introduced in the early 1980s, MIDI allows devices to
exchange musical information, such as notes, velocity, and control signals, without
transmitting audio.MIDI is a powerful tool in modern music creation and
performance, providing an efficient way to produce and manipulate music across a
wide range of devices. Its enduring impact continues to shape how music is made
and experienced today.
MIDI is used to capture and express this information electronically . For example,
when you strongly play middle C on a MIDI keyboard ,MIDI indicates the key
number as 60 and the strength of playing as 120 . In this way, MIDI precisely
described your performance information in digital form .
This performance information is known as MIDI data. MIDI data transmitted
between MIDI compatible musical instruments or saved as a file for later
playback.n
1. By connecting multiple MIDI devices with a cable
,the MIDI data can be transmitted and
received.For example ,if you record your
keyboard performance as a MIDI data the

What you can recorded data can be transmitted to another


instrument and played back on it .
2. You can record your keyboard performance to

do with MIDI computer and edit the data easily. Edited data can
be played back on the keyboard again .You can
transmit data with the help of USB cable into
computer after editing data you can send edited
data to MIDI instrument through USB cable.USB
cable act as middleman for MIDI data Exchange .
3. You can also buy MIDI data(computer file) of your
favourite song from internet website and listen to
the data by playing it back on your instrument or
computer. The MIDI data can also be loaded to
your instrument via USB cable in flash memory.
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
hardware specifications generally include the
following key components:
1. MIDI Ports:
a. In: Receives MIDI data from another
MIDI b.
device.
Out: Sends MIDI data to another
HARDWARE c.
device.
Thru: Passes MIDI data from the In
SPECIFICATION port to other devices without
processing.
2. Connection Types:
a. 5-pin DIN Connector: Traditional
connector for MIDI devices.
b. USB: Common for modern devices,
allowing for easier connection to
computers.
3. Data Transmission:

a. MIDI Channels: Supports 16


channels (1-16), allowing multiple
instruments to communicate over
a single connection.

b. Data Format: MIDI messages


include Note On/Off, Control
Change, Program Change, etc.

4. Power Supply : Devices may


require an external power supply or
can be powered via USB.
There are 16 MIDI channels . MIDI
performance data is assigned to one
of 16 MIDI channels.Using these
MIDI channels 1-16 the performance data
for sixteen different instruments parts
CHANNELS can be simultaneously sent over one
cable. For example when you player
song on keyboard the song contains
many parts(right hand part, left hand
part ,rhythm part ,bass part etc).On
most instrument,different MIDI
channels are assigned automatically
to each part. when these MIDI song is
transmitted to another instrument via
MIDI cable each part is transmitted
simultaneously , yet over separate
channels.
ADVANTAGES OF MIDI DATA :

1. File size are smaller .


2. All aspects of the sound can be edited.
3. Effects can be applied to individual instruments.
4. No interference or background noise during
recording .
5. Can use to create music without need for
different m musicians/ instruments.
DISADVANTAGES OF MIDI
DATA :

1. Depends on quality of sound card for


overall sound .

2. Cannot store vocals .

3. Effects are limited.
