Hi there, assuming you're asking about Musical Instrument Digital Interface ..
The most common messages you'll encounter, without any overwhelming technical explanation:
Note on/off messages - Sends the note pitch to be triggered (such as C3) as well as as a velocity (0 -127).
Pitch Bend Messages - most commonly used by pitch bend wheels on synthesizers to "slide" notes up and down.
Continuous Controller Messages - assignable numbers mostly with a 0 - 127 range that can control filters, LFO's, effect parameters. Most commonly used on synthesizers for pitch modulation (such as a sax playing vibrato)
Program Change messages - tells the receiving MIDI device to change to a corresponding patch or program location etc. (changing sounds)
Aftertouch (Channel and Poly) - channel aftertouch sense the *pressure* applied to a held key and whatever aftertouch is assigned to trigger .. will affect all the notes on that MIDI channel. This is the most common type of aftertouch on synths. Poly Aftertouch is channel specific, as well as each individual note it tracks. This is rare on most modern synths because it's expesive to build.

What is a MIDI filter?
A MIDI filter is a tool or device used to process MIDI data by selectively allowing, modifying, or blocking certain MIDI messages based on predefined criteria. This can include filtering out specific types of messages, such as note on/off, control changes, or program changes, to streamline or customize MIDI performance. MIDI filters are often used in music production and live performances to manage complex MIDI setups, ensuring only relevant data is transmitted to instruments or software.
What is the advantages and disadvantages of MIDI?
Because MIDI is a digital signal, it's very easy to interface electronic instruments to computers, and then do things with that MIDI data on the computer with software. For example, software can store MIDI messages to the computer's disk drive. Also, the software can playback MIDI messages upon all 16 channels with the same rhythms as the human who originally caused the instrument(s) to generate those messages. So, a musician can digitally record his musical performance and store it on the computer (to be played back by the computer). He does this not by digitizing the actual audio coming out of all of his electronic instruments, but rather by "recording" the MIDI OUT (ie, those MIDI messages) of all of his instruments. Remember that the MIDI messages for all of those instruments go over one run of cables, so if you put the computer at the end, it "hears" the messages from all instruments over just one incoming cable. The great advantage of MIDI is that the "notes" and other musical actions, such as moving the pitch wheel, pressing the sustain pedal, etc, are all still separated by messages on different channels.
Will a midi controller work without software?
A MIDI controller sends MIDI note messages to another device by MIDI cables or USB to a computer. If it is strictly a MIDI controller with no onboard sounds, it will have to connect to another MIDI device or computer to make sounds.
What are the different types of electric keyboards available in the market?
The different types of electric keyboards available in the market include digital pianos, synthesizers, MIDI controllers, and arranger keyboards.
What cells carry messeges?
there are different types of cells that carry messages
What musical instrument is a midi cable associated with?
MIDI cables are associated with MIDI-compatible instruments. The MIDI format is used primarily by electronic keyboards that can create many different sounds. It also appears on computers.
Which ports connect special types of music instruments to sound cards?
MIDI ports are used to connect different types of musical instruments and equipment to sound cards to interface with computer programs or other sound generating devices. MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and the standard port for over 20 years has been a 5pin DIN plug. More recently MIDI is being sent over USB connections.
What does MIDI contain?
MIDI, or Musical Instrument Digital Interface, contains digital messages that convey information about music performance, such as note pitch, velocity, duration, and control changes. It does not contain actual audio data but rather instructions for synthesizers and other devices to generate sound. MIDI files enable communication between different musical hardware and software, allowing for the synchronization and playback of music across various platforms. Additionally, MIDI can include information on tempo, time signatures, and other musical parameters.
Could you use the supernova with a midi guitar?
If you mean the Supernova synthesizer from the company Novation, then, YES! By definition, a midi guitar has either no, or very limited sound generation capabilities of its own and actually needs a MIDI device (such as a synth like the Supernova) to produce the actual sound. The Supernova is a MIDI synthesizer, and a darn good one! Basically your midi guitar will send midi "messages" to the SuperNova which will produce the sound (assuming of course that you have it hooked up to an amplifier, your PC soundcard w/speakers, or headphones, etc). Good luck!
Can you assign a specific lighting preset in DMXis using a MIDI controller?
Yes, you can assign specific lighting presets in DMXis using a MIDI controller by mapping MIDI messages to the desired presets. This involves using DMXis's MIDI mapping feature, where you can configure the controller to trigger specific lighting scenes or functions. Once set up, pressing a button or moving a fader on the MIDI controller will activate the assigned lighting preset in DMXis. Be sure to check the MIDI settings in both your controller and DMXis for proper configuration.
How MIDI can be used?
MIDI was invented so that musical instruments could communicate with each other, and that one instrument can control another. When a note is played on a MIDI instrument, it generates a digital signal that can be used to trigger a note on another instrument. The capability for remote control allows full-sized instruments to be replaced with smaller sound modules, and allows musicians to combine instruments to achieve a fuller sound, or to create combinations such as acoustic piano and strings. MIDI also enables an instrument's sounds to be programmed remotely. Synthesizers and samplers contain various tools for shaping a sound. Filters adjust timbre, and envelopes automate the way a sound evolves over time.[ The frequency of a filter and the envelope attack, or the time it takes for a sound to reach its maximum level, are examples of synthesizer parameters, and can be controlled remotely through MIDI. Effects devices have different parameters, such as delay feedback or reverb time. When a MIDI continuous controller number is assigned to one of these parameters, the device will respond to any messages it receives that are identified by that number. Controls such as knobs, switches, and pedals can be used to send these messages. A set of adjusted parameters can be saved to a device's internal memory as a "patch", and these patches can be remotely selected by MIDI program changes. The MIDI standard allows selection of 128 different programs, but devices can provide more by arranging their patches into banks of 128 programs each, and combining a program change message with a bank select message. MIDI consists of messages about these parameters, and contains no sound. It has nothing to say about the quality of sound that the receiving device produces, or what technique it uses to generate sound. Analog synthesizers that have no digital component and were built prior to MIDI's development can be retrofit with kits that convert MIDI messages into analog control voltages.
Does MIDI help make a synthesizer sound like a band?
No. All modern synthesizers have MIDI, but most can produce many different sounds at the same time without any other MIDI device connected.
