I have a Casio CK-3800 keyboard which I use when I train with my band, and it has a midi-out which allows me to connect it to the computer so I can use it as a MIDI keyboard. Most regular keyboards and hardware synthesizers can work as a MIDI keyboard controller as well. The only difference is that software generates the sound and you control it via your MIDI keyboard controller, whereas a real piano is, well, played in the “real” world. So, if you have a virtual piano VSTi installed on your computer, you can use your MIDI keyboard controller to play it in real time like you would play a real piano. The actual sound is generated inside your computer by different types of software like plugins, virtual instruments (VSTi), Kontact libraries, etc. They just send MIDI data to your music making software. Most MIDI keyboards don’t make any sound on their own. It’s a piano-style keyboard, which you attach to your computer – usually via a USB cable. So, What is a MIDI keyboard Controller and What Can it Do? (Also, remember to check out my other tutorial articles as well, such as “ How To Make Electronic Music With Computer” and “ Trance Song Structure“). In this article I’m going to answer all of those questions and much more. Most home musicians have a MIDI keyboard controller in their home studio.īut what exactly is a MIDI keyboard controller? Can you make music without one? If you decide to buy one, what kind should you get and how much will it cost?
