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.
If it's MIDI it should work. Just make sure you have your MIDI channels set up correctly in your software and on the keyboard.
Yes. It should work with virtually any software that is compatible with a MIDI controller.
Any keyboard instrument which has a MIDI port should work. If the keyboard / controller doesn't come with drivers and software, then as long as it supports general MIDI standards it should work. I'm assuming you already have some sort of MIDI interface. If not and the keyboard is USB, your mileage may vary but most that are come with a driver and software to enable this.
Well actually you cant make the GHWT Drums into a controller because they dont have the R1,L1,R2,L2, or the L3 or R3. So you cant make them into a controller. Tangofizz77 says: "Also, in order for this too work, you need MIDI Out, not In. However, if you have a old/new MIDI Keyboard, you can use that too."
The Pro-Fex II dos not require a foot controller to operate. If one did want to use a foot controller with it, the pro-fex II optional midi foot controller had some special control features when they were hooked together using a special proprietary midi cable that are not available when using a standard midi cable or other type of foot controller.
With any MIDI controller, you first have to assign the device as a MIDI controller in the FL Studio MIDI settings and select a free channel for it to work. You may be able to select the controller type, if it is not listed, just use the generic controller. If you need the controls mapped to a certain knob or slider on the MIDI device, you will need to assign it based on what you are attempting to change, and assigning a lot of controls may be time consuming. Once you get your preferences done though, you can save the controller configuration for use in future projects. Some keyboards come with MIDI controller disks that FL Studio may be able to read, and then there are plugin information that may give you a text file based on the control ports for the plugin where you can assign them easily to your device.
Yes, you can do audio editing, beat creation and mixing without a MIDI keyboard. You won't be able to perform using virtual instruments, though.
Most modern MIDI devices come with a USB link that passes the MIDI signal to the USB socket of the computer. If a USB connection is not available then a MIDI to USB adapter (See links below) can be added to connect the standard MIDI sockets to the USB socket. These are widely available from various manufacturers at varying prices. The Mac usually recognises when a MIDI device is connected but they can be configured with the Audio & MIDI setup utility found in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder.
This has led to copyright battles and fears of lack of work for live-performance musicians.
If it is a MIDI controller, then yes, but if it is a plain keyboard then it shouldn't, it may just not have speakers or the power source may be faulty.
Here's what you need:1: MIDI File sound module2: MIDI sequencing program3: MIDI keyboard controller4: PC, MAC or IOS tablet (iPad, Galaxy etc)5: USB or MIDI Interface6: Professional and licensed MIDI FilesConnect a MIDI File sound module (like the Merish PLUS) or a MIDI synthesizer to a computer, iPad or other tablet via a MIDI interface like the Edirol UM and many other affordable interfaces. These are available at your local musical instrument store.The other part set up is a good MIDI sequencing program.For MAC, we recommend checking out Logic Express, Logic Studio or Cubase. For PC, try Sonar or Cubase. Mac users who want to do serious work with MIDI should not use Garageband. It's free but lacks the essential editing windows (like an event editor, score page) needed to create and tweak a MIDI File.If you are using a MIDI sound module, then adding a MIDI controller keyboard will make entering MIDI data and playing in parts a breeze.Where to get your gear?You get legal and licensed MIDI Files guaranteed to work and already formatted to 'Load & Play' in any General MIDI device.Software: For Logic, visit the Apple store.

Even if the battery is low connecting the USB controller cable should allow the controller to connect when you press the PS3 emblem on the controller. Without another controller you can not tell if the PS3 or controller is the problem and does not work
