The musical instrument’s digital interface (MIDI) is a standard file format for sharing digital music between synthesizers. A MIDI file contains notes and various parts of a song, not unlike classical music scores. The synthesis interprets each part as a separate channel, and you can assign a unique synthesizer sound to each channel. The Roland Fantom series of synthesizers supports MIDI file import so you can play MIDI files directly on the synthesizer. To do this, you must be able to connect the Phantom to a computer that contains the MIDI file so that it can download to the instrument.
