How do midi controllers work?

280 viewsOtherTechnology

So, I want to get a Nektar imapact LX61+ (My first MIDI keyboard) but I know nothing about how it works. Do you plug it into any computer (PC) and it works as mouse or a typing keyboard? Does it work with any software I want to make music or do I need multiple softwares? Thanks in advance!

First thing you will need is a DAW (digital audio workstation) installed on your cpu. This is the software you need to process the midi inputs from the keyboard. Then you’ll want plugins including a soft synth and a sampler. These will be the source of your sound. That will get you started at least because there’s a lot to learn.
