MIDI Keyboards & Controllers

MIDI Keyboards are the bridge between your fingers and your studio software. They allow you to bring life to your productions by using your computer as an instrument.

Virtual instruments are available in many different styles. Virtually any sound you're looking for can be created by a software instrument plugin. It's common for modern musicians and producers to have large virtual sound libraries for making music. However, the sounds never sound quite right without that all-important human touch.

This is why it's best to have a quality controller keyboard as part of your setup. It will allow you to play your compositions into your software and record them as MIDI. The recorded MIDI can then be edited to remove mistakes or correct timing. You can even change the sounds produced by a virtual instrument without affecting your recorded performance.

There is also a small selection of controller keyboards designed to be used with hardware synthesisers. Keyboards like Arturia KeyStep Pro feature 5-Pin MIDI and CV/Gate connections. These can be used to remotely control and sequence your favourite synthesizers and sound modules.
