The 24 pages that link to MIDI, each with the reason it gives.

• OrchestrationRelated: MIDI mockups let composers test orchestral parts before live performance.

• Film scoreRelated: MIDI enables composers to sketch and revise instrumental arrangements digitally.

• Electronic musicRelated: MIDI coordinates electronic instruments but carries instructions rather than recorded audio.

• Pitch (music)Related: MIDI note numbers encode discrete pitches rather than recorded sound waves.

• Music productionRelated: MIDI lets producers edit and replay note instructions without recording audio performances.

• SynthesizerRelated: It lets many synthesizers receive notes and control changes without transmitting audio.

• Digital audioCompared with: MIDI stores symbolic musical events, unlike sampled digital audio recordings.

• Digital audio workstationRelated: MIDI tracks let DAWs edit instrument performances as note data.

• Drum machineRelated: MIDI lets drum machines send and receive note and timing information.

• Musical notationCompared with: MIDI stores discrete performance events rather than a conventional visual score.

• Fundamental frequencyRelated: MIDI note numbers correspond to specified musical pitches and their standard frequencies.

• Video game musicRelated: MIDI enabled many early game systems to trigger compact, synthesized musical instructions.

• Keyboard instrumentRelated: MIDI lets keyboard instruments control external sound sources without transmitting audio itself.

• MonophonyRelated: MIDI instruments and tracks can be configured to play one note at a time.

• Electronic musical instrumentRelated: It lets instruments send note and control information without transmitting their audio.

• Audio signalCompared with: MIDI describes notes and events but is not itself an audio waveform.

• Auto-TuneRelated: Auto-Tune can use MIDI notes to specify intended pitches for correction.

• Analog synthesizerCompared with: It sends note instructions rather than carrying the synthesizer's audio signal.

• Musical noteRelated: MIDI encodes note-on events, pitches, velocities, and durations.

• Music sequencerRelated: MIDI carries note and control events that many sequencers record, edit, and transmit.

• Robert MoogCompared with: MIDI later standardized digital instrument communication, unlike Moog’s original analog control-voltage approach.

• Wendy CarlosCompared with: MIDI-era sequencing differs from the hands-on, analog recording methods of Carlos’s early albums.

• GarageBandRelated: GarageBand uses MIDI regions to capture and edit software-instrument performances.

• Sound cardRelated: Some sound cards include MIDI connections for instruments and controllers.
