Interface">MIDI</a> Files (SMF) contain instructions that trigger sounds played by a <a href="/wiki/Synthesizer" title="Synthesizer">synthesizer</a> which is typically expected to meet the <a href="/wiki/General_MIDI" title="General MIDI">General MIDI</a> specification. On a personal computer these instructions can be turned into sound by either a software synthesizer, or by sending them along to a hardware synthesizer. There can be remarkable differences in the sound produced by a MIDI file, depending on the machine on which it is played and the instrument samples it uses. </p><p>It is possible to play MIDI files on Wikipedia, but rather than relying on the user's browser and operating system to support MIDI files, it relies on <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TimedMediaHandler" class="extiw" title="mw:Extension:TimedMediaHandler">an extension</a> that internally converts the MIDI instructions into a digital audio file that is playable on most browsers, and displays an audio player. For example, here is a <code>[[File:]]</code> wikilink to a MIDI file: <span class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File"><span><audio id="mwe_player_0" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="220" style="width:220px;" data-durationhint="28" data-mwtitle="Twelve_bar_boogie-woogie_blues_in_C.mid" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/d/da/Twelve_bar_boogie-woogie_blues_in_C.mid/Twelve_bar_boogie-woogie_blues_in_C.mid.mp3" type="audio/mpeg" data-transcodekey="mp3" data-width="0" data-height="0"/><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/d/da/Twelve_bar_boogie-woogie_blues_in_C.mid/Twelve_bar_boogie-woogie_blues_in_C.mid.ogg" type="audio/ogg;
