WHAT$IS$MIDI?$$
MIDI is the abbreviated term for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a
language that provides a way for digital musical instruments (or other MIDI compatible
devices) to communicate with one another. MIDI is not audio; the information contained
within MIDI messages is used to trigger sounds from MIDI-compatible sound modules.
The Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang Pro-Guitar supports a variety of MIDI functions. When
used as a MIDI Controller, it is like a remote control that triggers sounds from external
hardware or software devices. When you press a key, MIDI data is sent from the MIDI
Output port. The data travels to the other MIDI devices via a 5-PIN MIDI cable. When
the data is received by the device, sounds will be triggered and passed to your audio
system.
