Abstract
The Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) specifies the standard hardware and data format that allow devices to communicate with one another. Developed by researchers in Japan, MIDI Specification 1.0 made its debut in 1983. Soon afterwards, Roland introduced the MPU-401 (MIDI Processor Unit model 401), which gave PC users the power of MIDI. By providing an affordable way to interconnect musical devices, MIDI opened the door to the music world for computer users.<>
