Convert MIDI to AIFC

MIDI, standing for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that allows electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related devices to communicate. MIDI files store performance data including note information, control signals, and timing details rather than audio signals. This format is widely used in music production, enabling precise editing and interoperability among various digital audio workstations and instruments. Developed in the early 1980s, MIDI revolutionized the music industry by standardizing digital communication protocols, facilitating complex musical compositions, and enhancing the efficiency of music creation and editing processes.

The AIFC file extension stands for Compressed Audio Interchange File Format, which is a variant of the AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) used for storing audio data. Developed by Apple in the late 1980s, AIFC files incorporate compression to reduce file size while maintaining audio quality, making them suitable for professional audio applications. They support various compression codecs, such as ADPCM and MPEG-4, and are commonly used in digital audio workstations and multimedia software. AIFC files ensure high fidelity and compatibility across different platforms, enhancing audio storage and distribution efficiency.
