En realidad "no almacena con bastante nitidez" no acaba de ser verdad...
La diferencia entre un midi y un mp3 es que en el mp3 se almacena el sonido, tal como ha sido captado. El midi almacena sólo las notas musicales, es tu ordenador el que tiene, por ejemplo, el sonido de un piano y "toca" las notas que el archivo midi le dice. Por lo tanto, no puede almacenar voz (almacena notas pero no palabras) y, en el caso de otros instrumentos, sonarán de forma diferente según la tarjeta de sonido que tengas (tu piano no tiene por qué ser el mismo que el mío). Ya que estamos puestos, la lista de instrumentos midi es:
