Midi
MIDI does not contain any audio data. It is a communication protocol that represents musical performance information, functioning similarly to a digital score readable by computers, synthesizers, and other MIDI-compatible devices. Rather than encoding sound, it transmits data such as note on/off events, pitch, velocity, modulation, control changes, and more. One of its key advantages over recorded audio is its non-destructive and highly editable nature, allowing for precise manipulation of musical parameters after performance.
