How does MIDI technology influence the art of making music?

Question

A. It allows a composer to write whole compositions on the computer.
B. It allows for acoustic instruments to be recorded with great clarity.
C. It allows for making electronic instrument recordings into acoustic sounds.
D. It helps a performer play an acoustic instrument.

Answer 1

MIDI technology primarily influences the art of making music in the following way:

A. It allows a composer to write whole compositions on the computer.

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) enables composers and musicians to create, arrange, and edit music digitally, providing powerful tools for composition, sequencing, and manipulation of musical elements. This has transformed how music is produced, allowing for extensive experimentation and creativity without the limitations of traditional acoustic recording methods.

While the other options mention aspects of music recording and performance, they are not the primary influence of MIDI technology itself.
