WHAT IS MIDI?
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface: a standard means of sending digitally encoded information about music between electronic devices, as between synthesizers and computers. Although an accurate definition, this does not offer much insight as to what data MIDI actually contains. To help gain a better understanding, here is a breakdown of what information is included in a MIDI file:
• Notation – Musical notes
• Pitch – Frequency of sound
• Sustain – Length of note being played
• Velocity – How hard or soft a note is played
• Vibrato – Variation in pitch
• Panning – Distribution of signal (Left, Center, Right)
• Tempo – The speed at which the MIDI sequence is played
• Level – Volume
HOW ARE MIDI FILES USED?
MIDI can be utilized in many different musical scenarios. With a good understanding of the concept and application of MIDI, the possibilities are virtually endless.
• In the Studio – Use as multi-tracks where live instrumentation is not possible
• Live Performance – Use as backing tracks for solo musicians or incomplete ensembles
• Remix – Create remixes with the advantage of existing notation
• Inspiration – Use as a starting point to get your original project off the ground
• Practice and Rehearsal – Learn parts, improve timing, stay sharp
HOW CAN MIDI FILES HELP YOU?
If you lack certain musical skills, resources, or equipment, MIDI can be your best friend. The use of MIDI files has been proven time, and time again as an affordable, practical solution.
• Save Time – Allows for more time to create and complete your project quicker
• Save Money – Avoid longer studio time as well as hiring studio musicians
• Ease of Editing – Efficiently edit MIDI events as opposed to re-tracking entire parts
• Musical Advancement – Gain insight and knowledge by having a visual representation of a composition’s structural and musical layout
