Features of a MIDI Controller
from: ConsumerEvidence.comAlmost every electronic piano keyboard functions nowadays come with MIDI controls. They use a type of interface so that they able to send and receive data from the computer. What exactly is this data sent or received by the controls? At its most basic form, the data exchanged is the note created every single time a key is pressed on the keyboard. The signals indicate the specific note and the duration that note needs to be played. The duration is just as important as the tone for the song to come out like it should. The computer reads it exactly as how it is read on the keyboard itself. There shouldn�t be changes made once the music transfer has been completed.
Along with the signal sent and received, there are also other factors that play with it. All these aspects must work well together so that the MIDI control achieves optimal success. Each key comes with a sensor attached to it. The main function of this touch sensor is to discern the pressure being applied to the key. The depth of the sound produced vary according to the pressure exerted by the player himself. Basically, a deeper sound comes out when more pressure is applied, and in turn, a milder sound is produced when there is less pressure applied.
Years back, only the professional digital keyboards came with the MIDI feature. Today, basically most, if not all, electronic piano keyboards out in the market have it so that sound production is effective and accurate.
