Performers are, more often than not, busy people, they compose music, go to locations where they believe that they can find their inducement to find music, go to gigs, bars to play their music, for example. We won't always find time to stop for a moment and have sufficient time to clean our MIDI controllers - it is dreary and takes time. But confess or not, there are still rare moments when we come to a realization that our musical tools moderately ask for a tiny cleaning. Well, for all those busy musicians out there, I have come up with a few straightforward steps for you to give your MIDI controllers a little pause from all your dirty particles without you having to go and perform a boring and long-winded act.
Utilise a clean material with white-colored toothpaste to wipe your keys with. You may also use milk or water and put it in a material but it musn't be dripping wet. Rub the keys carefully but don't start cleaning them. Wipe the remaining like the knobs, faders, LED, screen with the same fabric you utilized for cleaning the keys.
Wait for the MIDI controller to dry and then check all of its connections as well as its condition. Plug in all the wires and plug it in before you open up the MIDI keyboard. Turn the volumes up and the other functionality as well and be observant about any sounds you are not supposed to hear or any unusual aftermath of your cleaning.
Finally, for storage, have the MIDI controller the other way up so that one can decrease the accumulation of particles onto the keyboard but instead they will be only on the lower side of the controller. That may save a little time and effort as well.
Following these steps will not only keep you from all the hours and effort you may waste by taking your whole MIDI controller down and individually cleaning its pieces, you will also extend the life of your MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard.
