A MIDI keyboard is a musical instrument that allows musicians to create and control sounds using digital signals. It typically features a set of piano-like keys, which send messages to a computer or other devices when pressed. These messages can trigger sounds, control effects, or manipulate software instruments in music production.
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, a standard that enables different electronic instruments and software to communicate with each other. MIDI keyboards often come with additional controls, such as knobs and sliders, which can be used to adjust parameters like volume and effects in real-time during music creation.
