MIDI Recording Setup: MIDI Controllers

Video Transcript

The next category we will be speaking on is hardware and your hardware comes first on MIDI controllers and like I've spoken to you before the MIDI controller I am using is just a keyboard synthesizer but you need to be aware that there is different types of MIDI controllers. If you are not really familiar with the keys which you will be after this video and you can get other MIDI controllers that are just MIDI controllers with just drum pads on them if you are more into just drumming and making drum beats like little squares you can beat on and make drum pads. They also make guitar MIDI controllers which have like a MIDI pick up on them to where when you pluck your strings the data is transferred through a MIDI device on your guitar and those are really cool as well also just whatever your preference will be will be the best MIDI controller for you. Like I said we will be using the keyboard in this and just be aware that when using the MIDI controller if you are looking to compose and arrange different music, musical scores or beats or what have you a keyboard is probably one of the best MIDI controllers you can use because it is easier to compose, you have all your notes. A guitar will work just as well as a keyboard but just be aware when you are shopping for MIDI controllers if you are looking to compose and arrange music shop for either keyboards or guitar MIDI controllers.
