Lesson transcript:
Understanding MIDI in a DAW
A Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Logic Pro allows us to work with audio, but it also enables us to work with MIDI to trigger sounds from software instruments.
What is MIDI?
- MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
- It has been around since 1982.
The Misconception
MIDI is often thought of as a simple trigger for sounds. However, it is a complex language that allows you to do much more than just trigger notes on a piano or a drum hit.
Exploring MIDI Capabilities
Once you dive into the world of MIDI, you'll be able to change various parameters, including:
- Velocity
- Panning
- Tempo of a track
The Origin of MIDI
MIDI was developed when synth manufacturers collaborated to create a language that would allow a Roland synth to communicate with a Yamaha synth, ultimately benefiting musicians. It serves as a method for devices to communicate with each other.
Important Note
Remember, MIDI is not audio. It is a unique language consisting of a set of instructions relayed between one device and another.
