Pro Tools MIDI Controllers

Video Transcript

"There's a couple of different MIDI controllers you can use for, for recording MIDI data. First one I'm going to show you is just like, this is just a regular USB keyboard it's like a small one it hooks up right to any computer or whatever. This is a Triton. I use the keyboard right here through the MIDI data by using MIDI cords. These MIDI cords are connected to a MIDI port I have. This, this MIDI thing down here has like ten inputs and outputs so I can have all my stuff spill into it. Another different type of controller is these, these pads right here are also controllers. These basically are going to every time I hit this it's going to make some type of MIDI data which I can record and manipulate and change or whatever. So each of these are basically like, you know, these are all MIDI controllers. There's also new ones that are coming out. They have breath controllers and things like that that kind of help you. You also can get drum, electronic drum sets that control MIDI data and things like that. So you have a set, you know, a drum kit you sample and things like that. If you load it up into your MPC and make sure you hook up your drum kit, electronic drum kit to the back of the MPC and you know, the output of the drum kit is the input of the MPC and the output of the MPC is going into the drum kit, you can actually play the drums and play the samples from your MPC."
