They are used to synchronize things, to make arrangements, etc. Some people create reference midi files before recording real instruments, others simply create drum tracks to use computer as a drum machine. Yes, samplers are commonly used to play .mid files, but MIDI is still useful for sync purposes. With best regards, Dmitriy Startsev.
