BS EN 63035 discusses MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) with a focus on specification 1.0. MIDI is a technical standard that described a communications protocol, digital interface, and electrical connectors that connect a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers, and related audio devices for playing, editing, and recording music.
BS EN 63035 specifies a hardware and software specification which makes it possible to exchange symbolic music and control information between different musical instruments or other devices such as sequencers, computers, lighting controllers, mixers, etc. using MIDI technology (musical instrument digital interface).
BS EN 63035 on MIDI specification is useful for:
MIDI communication is achieved through multi-byte "messages" consisting of one Status byte followed by one or two Data bytes. Real-Time and Exclusive messages are an exception.
BS EN 63035 contains the same first 8 pages as in the MIDI 1.0 Detailed Specification (the original core specification text) published by the MIDI Manufacturers Association (MMA). These are included within BS EN 63035. This specification was submitted to the IEC under the auspices of a special agreement between the IEC and the MMA.
BS EN 63035 discusses hardware, data format, message types, status bytes, data bytes, MIDI implementation chart instructions, summary of MIDI messages, control Change messages (Data bytes), control change messages and Channel Mode messages, and registered parameter numbers.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 63035, you can be ensured of all the specifications of MIDI.
