Midi (lesson 16) - Posted on 2018-06-02 by Hunter Rick

My mentor taught me that midi is a type of signal that replicates the notes on an instrument and sends the data to the computer and back out if chosen to. This data alone has no signal or sound of any tupe. When combined with a plugin however, it tells the plugin what ntoes to play for how long and when. Midi can also be used in the form of light shows, and triggering certain events, samples, or automations to occur within Pro Tools if you manually set up the functions on your midi controller or track to do so.
