Musical Instrument Digital Interface (Midi), is for letting digital musical instruments talk to each other in 'real time'. It came from the early 80s, and is still used today. The main idea is that rather than sending audio data, it sends small control messages. This is great for fast real time low bandwidth communication. I'm going to show in all the different ways midi can be used with python/pygame with three separate programs, and how to set up a virtual synth (I've included instructions for Win, Mac, and Linux).
