In this article, we’ll look at some of the most common ones, and show you how to use them. Every DAW gives you plenty of options for viewing, changing and perfecting your MIDI tracks. In addition to their sonic flexibility, MIDI recordings are freely editable. Because MIDI recordings consist only of data that tells your DAW which note to play and when (along with other performance-related information), you can assign any MIDI track to any virtual instrument in your DAW, or to a connected MIDI synthesizer or drum machine.
Among other things, it gives you the ability to record performances into your DAW from a connected MIDI keyboard or other “controller” instrument. MIDI (short for “Musical Instrument Digital Interface”) is a digital “language” that allows electronic instruments to control each other and communicate with computers.
