Dave Smith of Sequential Circuits ("Prophet" keyboard manufacturers) invented MIDI in 1981-83. The Prophet was the first keyboard to implement midi control.
MIDI is a standard protocol for connection music devices. Originally, it was used to control other devices, like turning them on or off, setting volume levels, and so forth. At some point, people invented music generators like synths that could be 'played' by MIDI code. MIDI was set up so that any device could connect with any other MIDI device. So, any keyboard with a MIDI output connector should work with any adaptor.
No. Line in is for audio, but midi is for midi.
midi = noon, midday après midi = afternoon
MP3 answer is MIDI
A MIDI controller sends MIDI note messages to another device by MIDI cables or USB to a computer. If it is strictly a MIDI controller with no onboard sounds, it will have to connect to another MIDI device or computer to make sounds.
A Ensoniq KS-32 can be used as a MIDI controller. If you are using an audio interface that has MIDI ports, connect the MIDI Out of the Ensoniq to the Interface's MIDI In. If you don't have a MIDI port on your interface (such as with the Mbox Mini) you will have to buy a USB MIDI interface (they're about $40.00).
...midi files.
Recording MIDI involves using a MIDI controller (keyboard, keytar, drums, flute) in conjunction with a MIDI sequencer to create a MIDI file. This MIDI data contains all of the aspects of your performance that makes it unique (the pitch, length, velocity of the notes). Hope that helps.
