How do you pronounce MIDI?
I’ve never heard this acronym spoken aloud before, only ever seen it in writing. I’ve usually thought of it as “middy”, but one pronunciation guide did say “mi-dee”. How do those in the music and technical field tend to go?

I have never heard it as anything but middy or mi-DEE except from "The Space Quest Historian" who pronounced it as “mee-DEE”.

Perhaps mee-DEE is more common in Europe, but the accepted is mi-DEE

I've always gone with "Middy", myself. *shrug*
