MIDIsekoittimilla

MIDIsekoittimilla, a Finnish term, translates to "MIDI mixers" in English. These are electronic musical devices that allow users to control and manipulate MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) data. Unlike traditional audio mixers that blend and process sound signals, MIDI mixers focus on the digital information that represents musical notes, timing, and other performance parameters.

These devices typically feature faders, knobs, buttons, and sometimes touch-sensitive pads, all of which are mapped to specific MIDI messages. When a user interacts with these controls, the MIDI mixer sends corresponding MIDI data to a computer, synthesizer, or other MIDI-compatible equipment. This data can then be used to alter parameters such as volume, panning, tempo, instrument selection, or effect levels in real-time.

MIDI mixers are invaluable tools for music production, live performance, and sound design. They offer a tactile and intuitive way to control complex software instruments and digital audio workstations, moving beyond the mouse and keyboard interface. For live performers, they provide hands-on control over soundscapes and stage lighting cues that might also be controlled via MIDI. The versatility of MIDIsekoittimilla lies in their ability to bridge the gap between physical control surfaces and the digital realm of music creation.
