These days, with almost all music production software, such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Reason, Cubase and Presonus' Studio One DAWs, music can be played on a music keyboard or other MIDI instrument, and immediately be displayed on the computer screen. Combining at least one MIDI instrument with a personal computer and a MIDI interface (a device that allows the computer to "speak" MIDI) allows for many interesting applications. MIDI was not designed to be used with personal computers, but since it is a digital interface, they actually work very well together. When you listen to a MIDI file, you're hearing an actual 'performance' by the instrument, not a 'recording' of a past performance. MIDI can be thought of better as a player-piano roll than a compact disk: just as the piano-roll instructs the player-piano to create the sounds, MIDI data tells a MIDI device which notes to play, patches (instruments) to use, and other information to help the instrument recreate the song. What is transmitted over the wire is information on how to play a song, not the physical sound data itself. PMT offers a wide range of MIDI Interfaces that cover all price points. However if you had more than one MIDI device to connect such as a second keyboard or a sound module then mutli-port options are available such as the M-Audio Midisport 2x2. These devices come equipped with a USB connection for your computer, and a 1 In/ 1 Out 16 channel MIDI connection to your MIDI keyboard.
