Many MIDI files contain entire musical compositions. Because MIDI supports only 16 channels, however, no more than 16 different instruments can play at any time, and one of those is the key-based percussion instrument.

MIDI made a natural transition to the PC. The MIDI messages that make up a musical composition can be saved as MIDI files, which are collections of MIDI messages with timing information.
Midi is my hobby.
I can play every instrument there is, every horn, I've played all the saxes and trumpets and everything and keyboards.
But I find that the keyboard is the complete instrument you know?
If you play the guitar, you've got to hold the chords down with one hand while you play with the other, so you're limited to one hand. But the piano is the king of instruments because you have your 10 fingers, which become the 10 members of the orchestra.
I play a bunch of instruments.
The thing is, there are so many different ways to make music these days with virtual instruments, software applications, physical instruments, and computer programs.
All modern MIDI synthesizers are capable of polyphony, which means they can play more than one note at a time and more than one instrument at a time.
I believe in using the entire piano as a single instrument capable of expressing every possible musical idea.
A MIDI file contains coded instructions to play a particular series of notes on an electronic music synthesizer. A MIDI file is more like a piano roll in a player piano than any type of sound recording.
