What Is MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a technical standard that lets electronic instruments, computers, and other devices talk to each other.
Why it matters
- It stores notes, not audio — tiny file size, infinite flexibility.
- You can change instrument, tempo, or pitch after recording.
- It powers everything from home studios to live stages.
How musicians use it
- Compose in a DAW
- Export a `.mid` file
- Play it back on any synth or our Online MIDI Player
MIDI is the backbone of modern music production.
