How Can I Play a MIDI Song in Fruity Loops?

The Musical Instrument Digital Interface, or MIDI, standard provides a method for creating small music files that are compatible with many different digital music systems. Because MIDI parameters and instruments are standardized, a MIDI song sounds the same no matter which program or device you use to play it. The Fruity Loops Studio digital audio workstation includes a software synthesizer called "Fruity LSD" which can play MIDI songs using standard MIDI instruments.
