The MIDI

Midi is a data system for music and electronic digital instruments. Midi operates by transferring data, by use of channels and instrument set commands. The sound created using midi are actually only instructions, no sound wavs go through a midi wire. On a computer, this means that midi may sound different on other computer based on the instrument set they choose to hear midi with. A collection of midi sounds or an instrument set has a certain sound assigned to each instrument. For beat makers in current times it may be wise to connect your keyboard to the computer and access a music production program's sounds by use of the keys on a keyboard. In order to do this you would need to connect the MIDI ins and outs of the keyboard to the MIDI ins and outs of a computer soundcard, interface or alternately with USB. The keyboard would now act as a controller to the music program with MIDI giving commands on what signal to generate based on the keys pressed and the instrument set used.
