Definition
i. MIDI
1. MIDI provides a protocol for passing detailed descriptions of a musical score such as notes, sequences of notes and the instrument that will play these notes
a. MIDI data isn’t digitized (And is device dependent)
b. MIDI is a shorthand representation of music stored in numeric form
c. A concise MIDI message can cause a complex sound or sequence of sounds to play on an instrument or synthesizer
ii. Digital audio
1. Digital audio data is the actual representation of a sound stored in the form of thousands of individual numbers (called samples)
a. Digital data represents the instantaneous amplitude (loudness) of a sound at discrete slices of time
b. Digital data is not device dependent so it will sound the same every time it is played
c. This consistency results in large data storage files |
