When you input music via a MIDI connection, parameters like what key you press, the strength at which you press it, the duration of the note, if you're using a pedal, etc. Unlike microphones, MIDI controllers instead pick up on what you did to create a sound, and then translate that into a synthesized note. It's essentially a musical language that gets interpreted by computers using MIDI controllers, such as various keyboards and pads.Ĭonfusingly, MIDI records everything except audio. MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
