MIDI keyboard
A MIDI keyboard is a musical instrument that allows musicians to create and control sounds using digital signals. It typically features piano-style keys, which send messages to a computer or other devices when pressed. These messages can trigger sounds from software instruments or hardware synthesizers, making it a versatile tool for music production.
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, a standard that enables different electronic instruments and computers to communicate. MIDI keyboards often come with additional controls, such as knobs and sliders, which can manipulate various parameters in music software, enhancing the creative process for composers and producers.
