A standardized file format for saving MIDI sequences independent of the platform they were created on. Standard MIDI Files allow musicians with completely different types of computers or sequencers to exchange MIDI sequences. There are two types, Type 0 (single track), and Type 1 (multitrack). Each type contains the same information, but on a Type 0 all MIDI channels are combined into one track (MIDI channel assignments and other information are not lost) while on a Type 1 each track is kept separate.
