| MIDI
Pronounced "middy," this connectivity standard enables you to hook
together computers, musical instruments, and synthesizers to make and
orchestrate digital sound. 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. |
