About MIDI and WAVE Formats:
The difference between WAVE and MIDI formats consists in representation of sound and music. WAVE format is digital recording of any sound (including speech) and MIDI format is principally sequence of notes (or MIDI events). The relations are approximately the same as between sounded speech and printed text.
MIDI format
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) format is a sequence of commands to control one or more pieces of musical hardware or software such as synthesizers or sequencers. These commands are not sounds, they are instructions to do something (mostly to generate sound). For example: select Instrument #1 (Acoustic Grand Piano), play Note #60 (C5) with Velocity #127. So you cannot represent, for example, human speech in MIDI format, but you can edit any note or change any instrument in music recorded in MIDI file.
WAVE format
A WAVE file is the recording of a sound wave. It is the mix of all the given sounds (instruments, voices, background noises) you could have heard at the moment of recording. So you can record, for example, human voice in WAVE format, but you cannot edit any note or change any instrument in music recorded in a WAVE file. The Standard Windows PCM WAVE format contains only Pulse Code Modulation data without compression. PCM format is the only kind that saves the entire wave completely with no data loss.
