An overview of the midi (musical instrument digital interface) protocol, which is a standard for digital communication between electronic musical instruments, computers, and other devices. Topics such as midi channels, velocity, midi ports, midi applications, and related electrical concepts like ohm's law and impedance matching. It also includes questions and answers to test the reader's understanding of midi and related audio/electrical principles. The information in this document could be useful for students studying music technology, audio engineering, or electrical engineering, particularly those interested in understanding the technical foundations of midi and its applications in music production and performance.
