The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A single MIDI cable can carry up to sixteen channels of MIDI data, each of which can be routed to a separate device.
- Each interaction with a key, button, knob or slider is converted into a MIDI event, which specifies musical instructions, such as a note's pitch, timing and velocity.
- One common MIDI application is to play a MIDI keyboard or other controller and use it to trigger a digital sound module to generate sounds, which the audience hears produced by a keyboard amplifier.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The MIDI article was read about 220,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 87 and blocks with 99: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
How to get MIDI
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
