Convert MIDI to TXT

Understanding MIDI and TXT file formats

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a technical standard that describes a protocol, digital interface, and connectors, allowing a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related devices to connect and communicate with one another. MIDI files contain information about musical notes, tempo, and dynamics, but do not contain actual audio data.

TXT is a standard text file format that contains plain text without any formatting. It is widely used for storing and sharing simple text data and can be opened by almost any text editor.

This conversion allows you to view the sequence of notes, their timing, and other musical parameters in plain text, which can be beneficial for educational purposes or for creating documentation.
