    The MIDI Standard 1 Overview ● What is MIDI? ● Brief history of MIDI ● How does MIDI work? ● Short Example ● MIDI Files and Connections ● Timing Issues ● Advantages and Disadvantages 2 What is MIDI? ● MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface ● Standard that specifies the hardware interface and the data format of electronic instruments and audio systems ● Intended to connect to musical instruments, computers, and related audio devices ● Small file size, large range of instruments, and easy to modify ● MIDI is like sheet music, and sound cards are the instrument and musician 3 https://store.djtechtools.com/products/midi-fighter-64 Why does MIDI exist? ● Before MIDI (early 1980s) there was no standard for communication between electronic musical instruments ○ different manufacturers means different standards ○ possibly trying to link analog and digital devices to each other ○ limiting musicians ability to perform with many different machines ● Roland, a Japanese musical instrument company, proposed making a standard ● Wanted it to be simple and small ● The music community, specifically Roland, Oberheim Electronics, Sequential Circuits, Yamaha, Korg and Kawai, then created MIDI 4 Basic Vocabulary ● Channel: synonymous to slave select ○ Each MIDI device usually has several channels ○ Think of a channel as an individual capable of playing many instruments and switching between them ● Program/Patch: the “instrument” that the channel will be imitating (e.g. electric guitar, drum, bass, etc) ● MIDI Instrument: MIDI defines this as any
