MIDI Clip File Specification defines a file format for MIDI sequences using the Universal MIDI Packet data format. MIDI 2.0 introduced the Universal MIDI Packet, a data format which supports all the original MIDI 1.0 Protocol messages as well as all MIDI 2.0 Protocol messages. The MIDI Clip File serves a role which is similar to the version 1 Standard MIDI File Type 0, with all data in a single sequence of Universal MIDI Packet messages. This MIDI Clip File Specification will have a complementary specification, the MIDI Container File specification which will be similar to the version 1 Standard MIDI File Type 1. The MIDI Container File will support the Universal MIDI Packet data format by containing one or more MIDI Clip Files, arranged in one or more tracks.
