MIDI Specifications

• The MMA MIDI Specifications (Online, Downloadable, and Print) are primarily of use to companies making MIDI hardware or software products. We are continually adding more consumer-oriented information about MIDI to our web site, but we can not answer your phone, fax, or email questions. If you want to learn more about how to use MIDI, or about available MIDI products, we urge you to contact your local MIDI retailer, or specific manufacturers.


• MIDI is also incorporated by reference into other international standards. For a list of Standards Setting Organizations and their standards that reference MMA MIDI  Specifications, click here.
