This industry-wide standard provides a common language and hardware interface so musical instruments can communicate with each other and with any device that can accept MIDI commands. The MIDI standard is implemented today by nearly every synthesizer and sampler manufacturer on the market, as well as almost every microcomputer sound board available. MIDI is used by engineers in recording studios to assist in complicated mixing situations, by Broadway theaters to control lighting and special effects, and by theme parks to automate attractions and complex displays such as those with hydraulic controls.
