MIDI is an acronym for “musical instrument digital interface.” MIDI was developed back in the early 1980s as a standardized protocol for communication between electronic musical instruments and peripherals. It allows MIDI devices to transmit and receive almost every aspect of a musical performance. Today, MIDI is used in all sorts of applications, including synchronization, sequencing, lighting control, automation systems, and more. There are many different types of MIDI messages that are used in MIDI for various applications. A typical MIDI connection is made with a MIDI cable, which has a 5-pin DIN-type connector of which only three pins are used (except in some special applications). MIDI can also be transferred via USB cables.
