Midi is not audio. Midi is SIMPLY PUT nothing more than the information that a certain note, for example note C5 is being pressed with a certain velocity and kept for a certain amount of time after which it is released. How that particular note will sound is depending of the VSTi that is on that track, might be a piano or an organ or a percussion or guitar etc. You can put a compressor on audio, but not on midi since midi is not audio.
BTW: this is simply put, because you do can put a compressor on a midi signal but that has to be a midi compressor, not an audio compressor like Reacomp.
Watch some tutorials from Kenny to get the grip between audio and midi.
