The Next Step:

If you plan on spending some serious money, when you become accustomed to using the computer-only drum machine method, the next naturally progression is to engage a Midi Keyboard, for those who are hoping to perhaps turn professional.

What is a midi keyboard?

A midi Keyboard looks like your average piano keyboard but has much more potential in terms of production. What makes the midi so special is that it is basically only a shell, where you drop midi files of whatever instrument you desire, and then reproduce the sound of thus said instrument by simply playing the keyboard. In other words, it is a device that allows you to tap into the vast world of music instruments without having to go and purchase the instrument. Besides, it’s very difficult to get your hands on a Sitar if you’re living in Bolivia not to mention the amount of space and money you would require to harbor all that gear.

How do you use a Midi Keyboard?

All that is required in order to use your midi keyboard, is the keyboard itself and your favorite virtual drum machine software. Basically you will connect the keyboard via USB to your computer and then launch your program. Once the program is launched you’ll have to link the Midi to the software and then you should be ready to go. In most cases the program will recognize the midi without a problem, but at times you’ll need to check out the preferences or options menu within your program and link it up manually. Once the midi is completely synced with your software it is time to use it, simply open a new midi track and start recording.

Where do I get the instruments?

There are plenty of VSTis out there, free and not so free. Depending on your budget you could always go out and purchase VSTi packs that will give you a wide selection of instruments in high quality sound. Note that this option might not be so good if you’re thinking about becoming a professional producer, but it is a good way to start experimenting with sounds and to get used to your midi.

How much do Midis cost?

The price of these beautiful instruments varies from brand and functionality. You can get a basic midi keyboard for a little over $50 USD and if you have money to spend, could even reach heights up to $1000+ USD. But you don’t necessarily need to dish out a lot of money to get both functionality and cost efficiency when purchasing one of these bad boys. M-Audio has a very good line of Midis that you could use and it shouldn’t set you back too much, round about $429.00 which will include finger pads, faders and pitch bends. You always want to get a Midi that has buttons and knobs on it, because you can link each one of the knobs and levers to do specific things which will definitely spruce up your live performance, not to mention do wonders for your production value.
