In their simplest form, a Midi file could be regarded as an intelligent record, but their use goes much further than this. As mentioned before, what you get out of a Midi file depends on how much you can control it. A keyboard may just be able to mute the melody line, enabling the user to play along with the backing. Most keyboards will also give the musician a tempo control. So, immediately there is an advantage for Midi files.
Further controls found on computer programs offer a wealth of benefits over audio recordings.
Transpose individual tracks, adjust tempo, view Tune 1000 Midi file lyrics, analyse harmony and create chord structure, view as notation, print music chords and lyrics, and of course, the ability to edit every single note. Just imagine, you can make your own personal arrangements of your favorite songs, and save the changes. These are not merely printed, but actually encoded in the data to synchronize with the song. This recent development can only be viewed on the very latest keyboards and computer programs that are equipped with this function - but the future will most likely see all new equipment providing this amazing facility. Vocal harmony tracks are also offered on many Tune 1000 Midi files.
