What does it mean to use device as MIDI?

Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) is a standard protocol for interconnecting computers with musical instruments, stage lighting, and other time-oriented media. Strictly speaking, MIDI is unrelated to audio. But because MIDI is commonly used with music, this article is placed in the audio section.

Should I use MIDI or USB?

USB is much faster, and just as reliable as a MIDI cable. An external disk drive with a USB connection transmits data thousands of times faster than a single MIDI instrument with no problems! If you want to use very long cables, for on-stage work for example, MIDI might be a better option.
