Abbreviation for Direct X Instrument. A platform for virtual synthesizer and sampler plug-ins that integrate with sequencer programs using Windows directX drivers. These instrument plug-ins are launched from within the sequencer and can be played via an external MIDI source or from recorded MIDI tracks. They can also be subsequently patched through effects plug-ins available to audio tracks of the sequencer from its mixer window.
