MIDI basics: what is MIDI?


MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

MIDI is a serial protocol, which means that it transmits one bit (binary digit) at a time. This is at a rate of 31’250 bps (known as the Baud Rate). As MIDI works in binary (base 2), each bit can have only 2 possible values – 0 or 1.

It is an industry standard that allows devices from different manufacturers to communicate.
