So far we have been recording the sound of your keyboard, and making an audio file. Now we are going to move on and look at using your keyboard as a MIDI controller. So if you make a MIDI recording then you will be recording your performance. What notes you played, when you played them, how hard you struck the notes. You can then edit this 'performance' very easily. You can transpose, speed up, slow down, change the voice to make it sound like any instrument, synth or beat. You can use it to trigger other events in your DAW digital audio workstation software. Play games. Create your own sheet music. MIDI (stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a complete protocol or language for communicating between MIDI instruments and software. From score writing (via Sibelius and Finale) to composing in DAW's (like Pro Tools, FL Studio, Reason, Logic, Cubase and so on) the world of MIDI has no limits if you want to play, create, or compose.
