MIDI
MIDI, acronym for Musical
Instrument
Digital
Interface.
In computer science, a serial
interface
standard that allows for the connection of music synthesizers, musical
instruments, and computers. The MIDI standard is based partly on hardware
and partly on a description of the way in which music and sound are encoded
and communicated between MIDI devices. The hardware portion of the standard
defines these types of input/output channels, called MIDI ports, and specifies
a particular type of cable, a MIDI cable, that plugs into the ports. The
three types of ports defined by the MIDI specification are MIDI In, MIDI
Out, and MIDI Thru. A synthesizer or other MIDI device receives MIDI messages
via its MIDI In port. It also echoes the messages back out through the
MIDI Thru port so that other devices can receive them. MIDI devices send
their own messages to other devices via the MIDI Out port.
The
information
transmitted between MIDI devices is in a form called a MIDI message, which encodes
aspects of sound such as pitch and volume as 8-bit bytes of digital information.
MIDI devices can be used for creating, recording, and playing back music. Using
MIDI, computers, synthesizers, and sequencers can communicate with each other,
either keeping time or actually controlling the music created by other connected
equipment. The standardization on MIDI by the major synthesizer manufacturers
is partially responsible for the huge success of computers in the music profession.
_Memories Of Sound_ MP3
The
electrical
signals that are conducted to the brain by the auditory nerve fibres are
like the impulses that activate a computer. They are not themselves
sounds; they are symbols of sounds. In this role they evoke
different reactions in the various sections of the brain which govern responses.
The brain has a sound
memory
center which begins accumulating sounds even before birth. We are
able to distinguish between some 400,000 signals. It is in the brain
where the journey of sound ends, an instant after it begins that hearing
and the memory of sound becomes the keynote of all communications.
