Musical instruments and various MIDI equipment must be physically connected in order to communicate with each other. For this purpose, the MIDI standard requires the use of a trio of 5-pin DIN connectors, of which only the 3 central pins are used. Through a five-pin connector (5-pin DIN) these cables allow the physical connection between the instruments. The three connectors are distinguished as:
- Midi IN : allows the device to receive information
- Midi OUT : allows the device to transmit information
- Midi THRU : allows the device to retransmit data received from its IN port to another device
The MIDI protocol was born in the early 1980s as a response to the need for different electronic musical instruments to communicate with each other, taking into account the characteristics of each. Several manufacturers already offered some interfacing systems on their instruments, such as CV/gate, DIN sync and Digital Control Bus (DCB). These interfaces, based on proprietary algorithms, guaranteed operation only on instruments from the same manufacturer, while the demand for a system capable of guaranteeing operation on instruments from different manufacturers was growing. The finished project appeared only in August 1983 when the specifications of the new MIDI protocol were presented to the public at the NAMM Show in Los Angeles. Since then, MIDI ( Musical Instrument Digital Interface ) has established itself as the standard protocol for the interaction of electronic musical instruments, even via a computer.
