MIDIohjattavat

MIDIohjattavat is a Finnish term that translates to "MIDI-controlled" or "controlled via MIDI." In the context of music and audio technology, it refers to devices or systems that can be operated or manipulated using the Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) protocol. MIDI itself is a technical standard that describes a communication protocol, digital interface, and connectors and allows electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related devices to connect and communicate with each other.

When a device is MIDI-controlled, it means that commands sent via MIDI messages can be used to trigger notes, change parameters like volume or pitch, control effects, or even sequence entire musical passages. This allows for a high degree of flexibility and automation in musical performance and production. For example, a MIDI-controlled synthesizer can receive commands from a MIDI keyboard or a computer sequencer to play specific notes or alter its sound characteristics in real-time. Similarly, lighting rigs or stage effects can be synchronized with music through MIDI control. The term emphasizes the capability of a device to receive and respond to MIDI instructions, making it an integral part of modern digital music setups.
