I have to assume that this is not a banjo, but an electronic imitation.
Am I correct?
You Probally know more than I (not saying alot)
When Lincoln heared the South had surrendered (or part of the South
anyway)
He told the band to play Dixie
Enjoy whatever the instrument
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface), pronounced
/=CB=88m=C9=AAdi/) is an industry-standard protocol defined in 1982[1]
that enables electronic musical instruments such as keyboard
controllers, computers, and other electronic equipment to communicate,
control, and synchronize with each other. MIDI allows computers,
synthesizers, MIDI controllers, sound cards, samplers and drum machines
to control one another, and to exchange system data. MIDI does not
transmit an audio signal or media =E2=80" it transmits "event messages"
such as the pitch and intensity of musical notes to play, control
signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato and panning, cues, and
clock signals to set the tempo. As an electronic protocol, it is notable
for its widespread adoption throughout the music industry.
All MIDI compatible controllers, musical instruments, and MIDI-
compatible software follow the same MIDI 1.0 specification, and thus
interpret any given MIDI message the same way, and so can communicate
with and understand each other. MIDI composition and arrangement takes
advantage of MIDI 1.0 and General MIDI (GM) technology to allow musical
data files to be shared among many different files due to some
incompatibility with various electronic instruments by using a standard,
portable set of commands and parameters. Because the music is simply
data rather than recorded audio waveforms, the data size of the files is
quite small by comparison.
