MIDI is a digital communications language, that enables synthesisers, samplers, keyboards etc to talk to each other. It also enables sequencers, both computer based and stand-alone to control the aforementioned instruments. The MIDI standard was established in 1983, by a group of electronic instrument makers, so that items from different manufacturers would work together.The standard has been gradually expanded over the years, both to control different functions on this equipment and also different types of gear can be accomodated, eg lighting rigs. These days there are some incredibly powerful bits of gear around, with unparalled levels of controllability, via MIDI of course.
