With MIDI, you could (for example) use the keyboard on your JDXI to control the software instruments that come bundled with Garageband, or sync the tempo of your track in garageband with the sequences on your JDXI. MIDI is a protocol for sending digital note information (among other things) across a particular type of cable between musical/computer hardware. If you were to, say, buy a Presonus Audiobox interface, it'll come with a copy of StudioOne, which does the same kind of stuff as garageband, just a little differently with a few more features.
