midi

A MIDI keyboard, or musical instrument digital interface keyboard, is an electronic keyboard that can be used to control other electronic musical instruments, such as synthesizers and drum machines. MIDI keyboards are often used by musicians to record and perform music, as they allow for a more expressive and nuanced performance than is possible with a traditional keyboard.

When choosing a MIDI keyboard, there are a number of factors to consider, including the number of keys, the type of keys, the of aftertouch, and the connectivity options. The number of keys on a MIDI keyboard typically ranges from 25 to 88, with 61 keys being the most common. The type of keys can also vary, with some keyboards featuring weighted keys that simulate the feel of a piano, while others have unweighted keys that are lighter and easier to play. Aftertouch is a feature that allows the player to control the volume or other parameters of a note after it has been played. Connectivity options can include USB, MIDI, and Bluetooth.
