Digi 002 & Digi 002 Rack and MIDI
What is MIDI?
MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)
data is not audio, and has no sound. MIDI is a
way for musical devices to communicate. MIDI
is data that can trigger a MIDI device (such as a
keyboard or software synthesizer.).
In order to create or play a MIDI recording, you
must have a MIDI keyboard or sound module
(real or virtual) connected to the computer
through the MIDI ports on the Digi 002 or
Digi 002 Rack, or another MIDI interface. Audio
from your MIDI instrument can be monitored
through the Digi 002 or Digi 002 Rack, or sent
to an external mixer.
