Midi
Since 1981, many manufacturers have been producing synthesizers controlled internally by digital signals. These signals contained information such as: which key was pressed and which knob was turned. They could be recorded in the form of digital sequences. However, each company had a different system for writing and reading this information, so Roland's sequencer could only work with the synthesizer of the same company, etc. Thanks to the agreement of major manufacturers of this type of equipment, a common MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) system was created, which is a universal form of communication between sequencers and synthesizers from various companies. The inauguration of the MIDI system in 1983 began an unprecedented period in the history of the electronic music industry.
How does MIDI work?
MIDI was invented to carry simple sets of commands. The idea of this system is that by playing on one keyboard (control keyboard) with MIDI, you can control another device (synthesizer, sound module) through the MIDI signal. This is done with the note-on and note-off commands. Each note-on information is accompanied by key velocity information, which tells you about the pressure on the key. In this way, many parameters characterizing a given sound can be given, such as pitch, modulation of the sound, etc. Time synchronization between individual sounds is carried out using MIDI clock information. Over the years, MIDI has been systematically developed, allowing for more comprehensive communication between devices, but the original MIDI Specification has never been changed. Thanks to this, instruments built e.g. in 1984, although they do not have many modern functions, are still able to work with those produced today.
Generally, MIDI is great feature that can significatly make your music life easier and extends the funtions of your instrument.
