Here is a link to a Novation Launchpad X Grid Controller that has no “piano” keys. There are many choices and price levels, so it’s important to know what you are getting and decide which features are most important to you. They take up less space and can be configured to trigger drum sounds and all kinds of loops. MIDI control surfaces may have very small, or no, “piano” keyboards. Checkout this post Why Choose Mixcraft Pro. In my case, I chose a separate program because I find Mixcraft to be very user friendly. You can actually use Ableton Live as your DAW and don’t need to buy a separate program.

Like many MIDI devices, it comes bundled with Ableton Live, and possibly some other software programs. The 37 represents the number of keys on the keyboard.

This link is to a Novation Launchkey 37 MIDI Keyboard Controller. As shown in the video, functions can be customized to work the way that you think is most useful. This can be very convenient and more efficient to have all of those things in one device. Those software functions may otherwise require a mouse or keyboard. This can be very convenient, as it allows you to not only play music notes, but lets you control software functions too. MIDI Keyboards that have piano-type keys often have additional control-surface buttons too. When you connect a MIDI keyboard to your PC, the MIDI signal from the keyboard, can then be used to trigger sounds and functions available within the software. USB is often used to send the MIDI signal. In recent times MIDI devices connect directly to a computer without an interface. However, MIDI is already digital and and needs no conversion.

MIDI is also a means to record from a keyboard into recording software. For example, a MIDI output from a music notation program can play a virtual instrument in another program. MIDI lets you connect digital electronic instruments or programs to each other. Despite this, the keyboard still works fine.

That seems to be the case here because the old keyboard probably had some functions missing and did not have a specific driver in Mixcraft. Unfortunately, when electronic devices become old, they can have compatibility issues when pairing them with newer technology. The keyboard in the video is a first generation Launchkey 49 keyboard. MIDI means Musical Instrument Digital Interface. See some of the things that are possible in the video below using Mixcraft 9 Pro Studio, together with a Novation Launchkey 49 keyboard. The controls available on each MIDI device, and the options available in the software program or app will determine was is possible. These signals are used to trigger electronic sounds and other functions between one device, or program, to another. The standard uses MIDI codes, that are digital signals.
