What is MIDI?
MIDI is an industry standard music technology protocol that connects products from many different companies including digital musical instruments, computers, tablets, and smartphones. MIDI is used every day around the world by musicians, DJs, producers, educators, artists, and hobbyists to create, perform, learn, and share music and artistic works.

Many of our corporate members are offering free downloads and webinars which we will be covering here on MIDI.ORG.
One of the most positive and healthy things that you can be doing in these challenging times is stay at home creating and collaborating (remotely) with MIDI. As always, we are here to help you do that.
Around the world we are seeing the power that music has to bring comfort to people who are feeling isolated.
Our thoughts are with everyone who visits us here. We are all in this together.
Hopefully we can provide a brief respite from the noise of the day and a chance to focus on something positive and safe to do--getting better at the craft of creating music and art with MIDI.
