"Lectures in Beginning MIDI," part 1
What's MIDI!?
MIDI is a communication standard for music and electronic instruments that was created about fifteen years ago by musical instrument manufacturers from all over the world. Suppose that Chang from Shechuan, China, is speaking to Quinn the Eskimo via "tin-can telephone."
You probably know what a synthesizer is. It's an instrument that can produce many different sounds. Yamaha has sold a lot of synthesizers that make some pretty good sounds, but one of the really hot ones right now is the CS2x. Take a look at the rear panel of the CS2x, and you'll see some round connectors that have a few holes around the edge. These are MIDI connectors!
