Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is an industry specification that permits digital musical instruments, computers and other related devices to connect and communicate with one another. The MIDI Specification was published in August 1983.
The MIDI file format is known as SMF (Standard MIDI Format).
"Black MIDI" is a style of MIDI music that has notes so densely placed that a graphical rendition has large patches of solid black.
Alternative formats
As well as the standard MIDI specification, a number of (often proprietary) MIDI clones and variants have been created over the years. These include:
