Technical specifications thumb|342x342px|8-N-1 asynchronous serial communication of two MIDI bytes. Each 8-bit byte is preceded by a start bit and succeeded by a stop bit for framing purposes, to total 10 bits. So while the 31,250 baud rate corresponds to 31.25 kbit/s, the net bit rate is only 25 kbit/s. Each byte with its frame uses 320 microseconds.
