TODAY, any multimedia Windows system should have a MIDI synthesizer and MIDI ports. What is MIDI then? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. This is an electronic language for computers and electronic musical instruments (e.g., keyboards and synthesizers), so they may communicate with a common standard. Most computers have a midi outport that can connect a computer to an external midi instrument. Moreover, a computer should have a soundcard and internal midi synthesizer installed in order to enable them playing back midi files.
Midi versus other sound formats. Midi is the only sound format that contains no actual sound samples. Microsoft .wav files, Sun au. files, Soundblaster snd. files, Roland .rol files, and other formats are real sound samples, and tend to be large files relative to the time duration of the sound, as compared to midi files. Music module files, such as .mod, .xm, .mtm., and .s3m, are actually a hybrid between the midi concept and sample formats. These contain performance information that refers to actual samples of sound that are used repeatedly in the playback of the file. These files are smaller than most .wav type formats, but larger than midi files.
