A MIDI keyboard, also known as a controller keyboard, is an electronic musical instrument that uses the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) protocol to control other electronic musical instruments, such as synthesizers, sound modules, and samplers. MIDI keyboards do not produce sound on their own, but instead send MIDI messages to other devices that generate the sound.
MIDI keyboards are an essential tool for many musicians, as they allow them to control a wide range of electronic instruments from a single keyboard. This can be useful for creating complex and layered sounds, or for playing live performances. MIDI keyboards also allow musicians to record their performances into a computer, which can be useful for producing music or for creating MIDI sequences for use in live performances.
