MIDI is perfect for songwriting – you can write melodies, chord progressions, single hits, drum beats – even entire complex compositions – and can then transfer them freely between software instruments. This makes MIDI extremely flexible, transferable and saveable to memory devices and cloud storage. It’s essentially a code which can be freely transferred between different synths and patches.įor example, a MIDI part played on a normal piano synth can be transferred to another synth like Native Instrument’s Massive or Serum. MIDI also contains information about pitch bends and mod wheel parameters. Most of us are familiar with MIDI as a series of blocks or notes on a piano roll within your DAW. MIDI doesn’t actually refer to audio in itself, it’s actually a file or protocol which sends instructions to MIDI devices. MIDI was invented way back in the 1980s, it’s become extremely useful for producers of all music ranging from electronic music to rock, metal and even classical!
