Hi,

I am a newbie.

Where can I find the best source of information for an explanation of the midi file format ?

I plan to write software that reads in a midi file and outputs a video file that is a 3D animation based on the events in the midi file.

For example, it might be an animation of a saxophone playing in response to that instrument being played in the midi track or it may be lights on a disco floor lighting up to different messages in the midi file.
