Not only that, but the Midi File Format is a subset of the Electronic Arts/
Commodore Interchange File Format. A trivial translation (adding a 12-byte
chunk to the beginning of the file, and padding odd-sized chunks to an even
byte boundary) and it's compatible with the existing IFF standards for
digitized sound, images, animations, formatted text, and so on. This lets
you create a single file that includes not only the music but the instruments,
notation, animations, and other elements of a multimedia document.
