WAVE, MP3, MIDI and MOD, what's the difference?

MIDI Papa´s - The MIDI FAQ by CC
For sound you need an instrument and a 'musician' (in the broadest sense of these words). If you like to hear a piano sound, you need to have a piano and someone playing it. If you love the sound of breaking glass, the neighbours window will do fine as an instrument and their son, throwing a baseball very wide, could be the great musician to satisfy you ;-). Let's stick to the piano. When the pianist is playing the piano, little hammers strike the piano strings.

What is the difference between MP3 and FLAC?

Productiontrax.com - Royalty Free Digital Multimedia Content...
MP3 is the music industry standard for compressed audio. MP3 uses a compression method that strips extra bits off of an audio file. MP3 files encoded at a higher bit rate have better sound quality, and generally, good quality MP3s sound the same as CD-Quality Audio. FLAC, on the other hand, is a lossless compression method that works similar to Zip. Lossless audio compression means that, while the file is made smaller, there is no loss of audio data in the process.

Some programs do allow you to convert single tones (monophonic instruments and such) to a midi data, but as far as converting complex recordings and arrangements, currently, it hasn't been done.

What is the difference between an MP3 and an MP3 Player?

Dukebox.com - FAQs
MP3s, in their simplest description, could be described as songs - they can be any type of sound recording that you like, but lets think of them as songs. An MP3 Player, in its simplest description could be described as a 'stereo' - a box that plays music. The MP3 Player (the stereo), plays the MP3s (the songs).

What's the difference between MIDI and Wave?

FAQ - audiohost.com
MIDI isn't really sound! MIDI is a bunch of commands that tell a compatible sound module or sound card which sounds it has to generate. Although this seems to be rather complicated if you consider a whole piece of music, the amount of data that's necessary to do this is incredibly much less than in an audio recording of the same sound! The MIDI file is about 500 times smaller than a CD quality recording of the sound that the sound module generates.

Why doesn't AMP contain any Midi, MP3 or OGG scores?

Amiga Music Preservation - Faq
AMP's goal is to preserve tracked modules and not any streamed music. Some sites already take care of those formats and they do it very well. There is no connection between those formats and tracked music so having them for download wouldn't bring anything important to the tracked music history of a certain composer.

What's the difference between analog (control voltage CV) and MIDI wind controllers?

WIND CONTROLLER FAQ (UPDATED)
Playing the analog synth that is connected via real control voltage feels to me like the synth is IN MY MOUTH and I am spitting the sound out my mouth as compared to playing a MIDI synth that feels somewhat like I am triggering a synth at arm's length or 10 feet away (10 milliseconds). CV wind controllers such as the AKAI EWI and EWV2000 modules and the old Crumar and Steiner EVI feel like you are creating the sound from behind your teeth instead of controlling/triggering the sound.

Subject: [3-27] How can I record RealAudio, MIDI, and MP3 on CD?

CD-Recordable FAQ
The first step is to convert from whatever format the sound is in to WAV or AIFF. In some cases (e.g. MP3), many of the popular CD recording programs will do the conversion for you. If not, you will need to convert it to 44.1KHz 16-bit stereo PCM format. Once it's in WAV or (on the Mac) AIFF format, you can record it as you would audio taken from other CDs. Be sure to play it back once after you convert it to make sure that it came out okay.

MIDI FAQ - How to MAKE & EDIT a midi - - RingTones
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI is a standard that lets your MIDI device (like your MIDI keyboard) communicate with other MIDI devices and your computer. When you hit a key on your keyboard, a series of controller messages (sets of digital information) are sent to your computer and interpreted by your sequencer. These controller messages contain a wide range of MIDI information that translate the aspects of your performance into electronic MIDI form.
