You'll probably learn about midi, which
will be useful.  Truthfully, though, if
you've any propensity for computers you
can understand most of what midi is all
about in five minutes or less.

techno.ca (I think) has a movable-parts
list dedicated to this sort of stuff.
The most valuable lists (imo) are gear
specific, unfortunately.  You could
probably also learn a lot just by
hanging out on the #midi channel on the
irc for a couple of nights.
