Whereas the digital recording format records the actual musical performance, MIDI records information about what was played, when it was played, how it was played, etc., rather than recording actual audio data. It is for this reason that a MIDI recording can be completely changed and manipulated after it has been recorded e.g. changing a MIDI Piano patch recording to sound a Trumpet patch instead.
