What is MIDI
MIDI – the Musical Instrument Digital Interface – is basically a standard communications tool or protocol specifically designed to control electronic musical instruments or related devices remotely. Specifically, it is a set of specifications or blueprint developed and agreed upon by the electronic music industry which is both a set of common language or commands for passing musically meaningful messages understood by each MIDI instrument, and also details for the specially designed hardware interface used to transmit and receive those commands, such as input and output ports and processing circuitry.
A Brief History of Electronic Music

Electronic musical instruments such as the 200 ton and 60 feet long Dynamophone, invented by Thaddeus Cahill in 1897, Leon Thermen’s Theremin (1924), Maurice Martenot’s Ondes Martenot (1928) and the Trautonium (1930) though capable of producing sounds unimaginable before, failed due to their primitive aspects of construction and producing capacity.
