How do midi controllers work?

87 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!

This is some basic knowledge I remember from my audio schooling. Short answer yes, most of modern midi use can be done over usb, older hardware or if you want to control other synths you’ll need to use an actual MIDI cable. Hope this helps. I’ve heard of Nektar I’m not familiar with that machine. Hope this helps, and welcome to an expensive hobby.
