| | MIDI overview |
 | | MIDI being just a bunch of 'triggering' data, therefore, is light - very small (and MIDI data, even complete songs, saved as files can be.zip compressed by 3,4,7 to 1 or better on top of that). |
 | | Of course, the keyboard, or strings, drum pads or whatever used to create the MIDI sequence are typically part of the synthesizer used to play back such a sequence, but not always. |
 | | Yamaha got in early, in the 70s, with FM synthesis; which used to be the synthesizer chip on the bare bones sound cards that came with most computers, in the past. |
