MIDI files are the industry standard for synthesizers, it is a file format that includes thousands of samples and recordings of analog instruments, which can be played using a digital instrument, such as an electronic keyboard or an electronic drum set. Note that electric guitars do not use the MIDI format, as electric guitars work by having magnets called pickups that pick up the magnetic
. disturbances that are caused by the vibration of the magnetic steel strings. The MIDI format is owned by Yamaha. There are now thousands of products for DJ's, musicians and producers. Some of them are the electric instruments stated above, and some of them are controllers to modify or sample MIDI files for producers or DJ's. The MIDI format is actually some what dated, as it was first defined in 1982. Early MIDI devices had a proprietary port for data transfer. Now, it is capable of sending data via USB, Firewire, or computer networks.Religion has always had a very large impact on humanity. Since the beginning, humans have been pondering their origins, and where they came from. Many people believe that a higher power created them, and one way that humans honor their creators is by worshiping them and singing songs. One of the most popular Christian songs there is is called "All Above". Some people who will be worshiping or performing for their church will want to practice the song, and one great method of practicing a song is having a MIDI recording of it, as it can tell you what notes are in the song, and you can speed up the song or slow it down without changing the pitch of the song, making it perfect for practicing. Recordings of "All Above" in the MIDI format are available online, such as this website (http://www.ex-designz.net/englishmidis/nowplaying.asp?mid=2117).
