MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an industry-standard electonic communications protocol that enables electronic musical insruments, computers and other equipment to communicate, control and synchronize. MIDI does not transmit an audio signal or media. MIDI is also used as a control protocol in applications other than music everyday such as show control, theatre lighting, special effects, sound design, recording system synchronization, audio processor control, computer networking and animatronic figure control. MIDI works through the musical performance when it is play on an MIDI instrument (or controller), it tranmits MIDI channel messages from its MIDI Out connecter.


MIDI allows user to compose complicating musical arrangements using many kinds of instrument and also enable user to slter any aspect of a performance after recording it. MIDI also allow user to adjust the rhythm and timing of your performance. MIDI also allows you to create or alter the dynamics of a musical part. Patch changes in the MIDI system allow us to save the keyboard or sound module patches used in a song as a part of the project. Beside that storing information also one of the benefit on MIDI software. It provide Sysex to store large amounts of data from sythesizer, sound module or other MIDI gear. It also allows MIDI gear to transmit and receive information. Another the benefit used on MIDI was MIDI can recording your every move to record control changes. Control changes are particularly useful by using analog synthesizers of MIDI effect pedals that have physical knob. A significant benefit of MIDI is the flexibility like editing parts and changing the sounds and performance right up until the mixdown stage. MIDI also can help to breathe warm ;life into your recording.
