A MIDI file is not an audio file as such; it is simply a file containing instructions for the computer to generate music with. For example, it might contain an instruction saying to play a note C on octave 3 using a piano sample, and then a A on octave 4 using the same piano sample.

The computer then goes through each instruction and constructs the audio on-the-fly. The same protocol is used for connecting keyboards to computers and other audio devices; since you are only transmitting the instructions instead of the actual sounds, it makes it possible to synthesize new sounds, and it also means you are transferring only a very small amount of data.

It is really important to remember that a MIDI file will not sound the same everywhere. It'll sound different on a PC than a Mac, it'll sound different on a MIDI-capable mobile phone, hell, it will even sound different between different synthesizers on the same platform.

Imagine sheet music - it's just telling you what notes and how they are played, and needs a musician to make it into actual sound. This is how MIDI is, where the MIDI file is the sheet music, and the computer/software is the instrument, turning the notes from the file into the sound you hear.

Just as the musician can play the song using different instruments, MIDI can do this too, which is why MIDI files sometimes sound different when played on different computers (though because of General MIDI, they at least sound similar).

Hope that makes it clearer.

I made it but I didnt compose the song . If you can get me the score to any song I'll most likely be able to put it in the midi-maker.
