ABSTRACT:
The fiber optic musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) is a converter that transforms electrical MIDI signals from an electronic musical instrument (or electronic musical device) into light signals. These light signals travel down a fiber optic cable to another fiber optic MIDI link where they are converted back into their original electrical form and output to another electronic musical instrument (or electronic musical device). The advantages of this type of communication between electronic musical instruments are electrical noise immunity, fast data transfer and long communication length.
