Why MIDI files So Special?

Midi files is not an audio type file, like our previous discussion, MIDI is a collection of melodies, they are combined together to be a complete song composition, for a keyboard practitioner or keyboard player, MIDI is one unit that supports each other, inside MIDI files there are only 16 channel instruments, so if you want to add more channels, of course you can't, in this case, the midi makers outsmart it with their shrewdness, usually they will combine with the existing channel, according of part of the song itself. The uniqueness of MIDI is, that we can record all kinds of instruments in one song with just one instrument, if I make a MIDI files, i just use the MIDI controller only, while all source of instruments are only from recording software, some people make midi files from the keyboard instrument and the instrument sounds source from keyboard itself, all depends on the habits and comfort of the midi maker itself.
