Originally posted by germcevoywhat exactly are MIDI files? I've heard of them but never found out what they were
Musical Instrument Digital Interface file. A set of instructions for a computer or synthesizer to play a certain musical composition. The MIDI file does not include actual sounds, but information on how to make the sounds. The MIDI instructions include the notes played, length of notes, instruments, volume, rhythm, etc. MIDI files on the Internet can be played with the help of a media player application.
