Human Machine Interface (HMI) is a MIDI-like format named after the company that created it, Human Machine Interfaces. The format is derived from the earlier HMP format. The format was used by the Sound Operating System middleware library for audio playback, a competitor of XMI used in the Miles Sound System.
