5. MIDI
• stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is an agreed
protocol from the early 80s that allows computers, digital

• Unlike other audio formats that transmit representations of
musical sounds, MIDI only stores or transmits commands
about the music (the notes etc), and not audio signals.
