===Other applications===
Despite its association with music devices, MIDI can control any electronic or digital device that can read and process a MIDI command. MIDI has been adopted as a control protocol in a number of non-musical applications. [[MIDI Show Control]] uses MIDI commands to direct stage lighting systems and to trigger cued events in theatrical productions. [[VJ (video performance artist)|VJ]]s and [[Turntablism|turntablists]] use it to cue clips, and to synchronize equipment, and recording systems use it for synchronization and [[Console automation|automation]].  Wayne Lytle, the founder of [[Animusic]], derived a system he dubbed MIDIMotion in order to produce the ''Animusic'' series of computer-animated music video albums; Animusic would later design its own animation software specifically for MIDIMotion called Animotion.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Animusic-MIDI-Driven Computer Animation – MIDI.org |url=https://midi.org/animusic-midi-driven-computer-animation |access-date=2024-10-19 |website=midi.org}}</ref>  [[Apple Motion]] allows for a similar control of animation parameters through MIDI. The 1987 [[first-person shooter]] game ''[[MIDI Maze]]'' and the 1990 [[Atari ST]] [[computer puzzle game]] ''[[Oxyd]]'' used MIDI to network computers together.
