Well, it really depends on what you mean by Midi?

And an example at that...

What I think your asking is what Midi Really Is.

Well Midi is a file type (.mid) used in certain "studio programs" such as Fruity Loops Studios, Reasoner, Garage Band, etc...

They specify the "key-play" in the song. Such as, if you were to download one And open it, it will have numerous amounts of "patterns" or "audio clips" that , all together, make the song. They are usually separated because they are each different instruments. Synths/Strings/Beats/Etc.

Hope this helps you :)

What is the difference between MIDI track and MIDI channel?

There's a few parts to this. A 'Track' in a program needs to be a certain type. In simplest forms; an 'Audio' track or 'MIDI' track. MIDI is nothing more than performance information. It contains no sound. Each MIDI 'port' in software/or 'plug' in hardware has a total of 16 discreet channels that performance information can travel down. It is then up to you to assign that MIDI track & channel to a virtual sound source or external MIDI device that can create sound. Example: MIDI Port 1 ch1 - Piano ch2 - Bass ch3 - Guitar ch10 - Drums A Simple synthesizer workstation will have a build-in 16 track sequencer, each track assigned a different MIDI channel, allowing you to trigger 16 different sounds. If you have a performance on channel 1, it will trigger channel 1's assigned sound. If you set 3 tracks to the same MIDI channel and they each have a different sound (such as piano, strings, synth pad) assigned... then that single MIDI track performance with trigger all 3 sounds simultaneously! So think of the MIDI 'Track' as a big pipe with 16 divisions, and a MIDI channel as one of those divisions within the pipe. A MIDI track must have a MIDI assignment to work. The standard options are channel 1 to 16 or "ALL".
