MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It's an industry-standard protocol defined in 1982 that enables electronic Musical Instruments to communicate with each other. MIDI allows computers, synthesizers, MIDI controllers, sound cards, samplers and drum machines to control one another, and to exchange system data. MIDI does not transmit an audio signal or media - it transmits "event messages" such as the pitch and intensity of musical notes to play, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato and panning, cues, and clock signals to set the tempo.

Its purpose is to enable the control of a wide range of musical parameters, such as pitch, velocity, and timing, without transmitting actual audio signals. This allows musicians and producers to create, record, and edit music more flexibly and efficiently. MIDI is widely used in music production, live performances, and software applications.
