What is MIDI? (A Simple Explanation)

In this video, you'll learn what MIDI is, from the basics to more advanced concepts, including who MIDI was invented by, its history, and how to set up your first MIDI controller. MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an industry-standard communication protocol for transferring digital music between different musical instruments and devices. It also allows users to control and edit music in a DAW such as Logic Pro X or Ableton Live while using preset sounds from their favorite virtual instrument, and then transfer the data to other devices. This makes it easy to share ideas with collaborators and to make changes to the music without ever having to re-record it.
