The term 'Digital Music Format' can be summarized by the acronym MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a technical standard that allows electronic musical instruments, computers, and other digital devices to communicate with each other. It was first developed in the early 1980s and has since become an industry standard for digital music production. MIDI is used to control synthesizers, sound modules, and other musical devices, allowing musicians to create complex compositions and sounds.
