MIDI is first and foremost a wire protocol, and secondly a file format.

That having been said, MIDI was originally designed for musicians, and its primary purpose is to allow musicians to record or 'sequence' their performance and save it to a file for replay or editing. MIDI is often used by phones to store ring tones. Your systems can use this to play MIDI files out of your default audio device - usually your primary sound card or audio hardware. Your Windows machine contains a default device that can play numerous synthesized sounds emulating various instruments like pianos and guitars. MIDI contains all the note information - basically the 'sheet music' for a song which it can then broadcast to up to 16 different digital audio devices like drum machines and synthesizers, or MIDI capable pianos and the like. What it does is allow you to automate digital instruments similar to how one of those old player pianos work. MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.

Update 6: API enhancements and improvement to overall GUI behavior Conceptualizing this Mess

Update 5: Added Transpose() option to API and to GUI Update 4: Improvements to correctness of API created MIDI sequences and files, better preview and save. Made the Offset and Length floating point Update 3: Added Normalize and Level scaling. Update 2: Added MIDI message classes for each type of MIDI operation, and several features to the MidiSlicer app Later, I expanded this C# prototype code into a MIDI file editing library, which I've provided here, along with an example utility that allows for simple editing of a MIDI file. I wrote it in C++, but I prototyped many of the MIDI operations in C# first. Quite some time ago, I wrote a VST and FL Studio plugin which used looped MIDI streams to play audio. Consider visiting my followup article here. It has improved code and a more thorough explanation of MIDI and the Midi library API.
