Now you know how MIDI works, let's take another look at the varied parts which make up our MIDI instrument.
There are two central parts of a MIDI keyboard: the keys and the controllers. These are the ones you'll be getting familiar with as we go thru this piece of writing. These keys and controllers vary their numbers, functions, and sizes dependent on the model or type of MIDI controller you buy. Some MIDI keyboards are small and transportable and some are not. Of course, it will depend upon whatever you opt to buy, depending on your requirements and preferences.
First off, there are the keys. These are the keyboard-like keys that are located at the centre of your MIDI keyboard. These keys alter on their sizes, numbers, and touch. If you have a big studio and you are only playing your MIDI keyboard within inside the studio, then you can go forward and choose the full-on 62, 73, or 88-keys MIDI controller.
But if you're a traveling producer, then you should opt for the portable MIDI controller with 25, 37, or 49 keys. The keys also change in touch. This touch contains the aftertouch, the weighted or unweighted characteristic, the particular feel of the keys, and whether the keys are velocity-sensitive. These features will be further debated in other documents.
Next among the fundamental parts include the controllers. These controllers include the varied faders, knobs, buttons, wheels, touch pads and program selectors. All of these control a particular function. Functions include modulation, pitch, memory banks, hardware MIDI synths, and others.
Depending on your MIDI controller, these controllers can either be assignable or pre-set for the sake of convenience. These controllers make music making simpler and more fun!
These two are the key parts of MIDI controller keyboards but there are still others, there are ports you use to attach the MIDI controller keyboard to your portable PC and other stuff. These make-up your MIDI controller keyboard. Know it, understand it, play it.
