From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Musical Instrument Digital Interface
  
      (MIDI /mi'-dee/,
      /mee'-dee/) A {hardware} specification and {protocol} used to
      communicate note and effect information between synthesisers,
      computers, music keyboards, controllers, and other electronic
      music devices.   It is basically a high-speed {serial}
      connection with separate connections for MIDI in, MIDI out and
      MIDI through (to allow devices to be chained).
  
      The basic unit of information is a "note on/off" event which
      includes a note number (pitch) and key velocity (loudness).
      There are many other message types for events such as pitch
      bend, patch changes and synthesizer-specific events for
      loading new patches etc.
  
      There is a file format for expressing MIDI data which is like
      a dump of data sent over a MIDI port.
  
      The {MIME} type "audio/midi" isn't actually registered so it
      should probably be "audio/x-midi".
  
      {Filename} {extension}: .mid or .midi
