MIDI Files Advantages:

  • MIDI files are much more compact than digital audio files.
  • MIDI files embedded in web pages load and play more quickly than their digital equivalent.
  • MIDI data is completely editable. A particular instrument can be removed from the song and/or a particular instrument can be changed by another just by selecting it.
  • MIDI files may sound better than digital audio files if the MIDI sound source you are using his of high quality.

MIDI Files Disadvantages:

  • MIDI playback will be accurate only if the MIDI playback device is identical to the device used for production.
  • MIDI cannot easily be used to play back spoken dialogue.
  • working with MIDI data requires familiarity with musical scores, keyboards, notation, and audio production.
  • MIDI data is device dependent (the sounds produced by MIDI music files depend on the particular MIDI device used for playback).

Digital Audio Advantages.

  • In general, the most important advantage of digital audio its is consistent playback quality.
  • Digital audio is used far more frequently than MIDI data for multimedia sound tracks.
  • The preparation and programming required for creating digital audio do not demand a knowledge of Music Theory.
  • Digital audio data is not device dependent (digital audio produces sounds that are more or less identical regradless of the playback system).
  • A wider selection of applications software and systems support for digital audio is available for both, the Macintoch and Windows platforms.
  • Digital audio can handle spoken dialogue.

Digital Audio Disadvantages:

  • Digital audio won't work if you don't have enough RAM, hard disk space, CPU processing power or bandwidth to process it.
  • Digital audio files are bigger than MIDI files.

Midi transmits audio signals over a midi cable?

No, midi sends music information over the midi cable. Information concerning which note you played, for how long, how loud it is played, at which channel, and so on... So, if your instrument and the computer you're connecting with don't have the same instrument library, the notes, the length, the relative volume and so on will be the same, but it will sound different. Example, you could be playing on a piano, but the sound could be a trumpet.


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.


How can I connect my MIDI controller to my computer using MIDI over USB?

To connect your MIDI controller to your computer using MIDI over USB, simply plug one end of the USB cable into the MIDI controller and the other end into a USB port on your computer. Your computer should automatically recognize the MIDI controller as a connected device, allowing you to use it with music production software or other MIDI-compatible applications.


What is analog telecommunication?

Analog telecommunications refer particularly to voice telecommunications otherwise known as phone services. Analog telecommunications used electricity and magnets to transmit sound over copper at distances. These days phone services are digitized and transmitted over fiber.


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.


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.

Can a midi controller connect together with other midi controller?

Yes, MIDI controllers can be connected together, allowing them to communicate and control each other. This can be done using MIDI cables or via USB connections, depending on the controllers' capabilities. Additionally, many MIDI controllers support MIDI networking over USB, enabling multiple devices to work in tandem within a digital audio workstation (DAW). This setup enhances creative possibilities and allows for more complex musical arrangements.
