MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface and is a sort of technical standard for musical instruments. It covers a really wide area in terms of usage (even older joysticks used these ports!) but with Colibri, we are only focusing on the file format.
What’s a MIDI file?
Usually an extremely small file that contains musical note information and playback instructions, such as volume, notation, velocity, pich, vibrato and panning. If you do not recall hearing such a file then try recalling the earlier days as most cellphones had their ringtones in this format. Think of MIDI files as a special kind of sheet music document, which itself does not contain audio data. It needs a proper player with a Sound Bank/SoundFont to do that!
What are SoundFonts and why are they necessary for MIDI files?
SoundFonts contain musical instrument samples, they are a library of sounds which a player uses to play back such files. There are a lot of different kinds of SoundFonts from free to commercial ones – Colibri uses a freely available font to render the audio output.
Is it popular?
Yes, very much! OSX (now macOS) does not offer a convenient built-in MIDI playback possibility – although there are some audio players to choose from. A fresh install of macOS does not have a convenient way of playing such files, which brings us to…
