MIDIsyötettä

MIDIsyötettä refers to MIDI input, the data stream generated when a musical instrument or controller sends performance information over a MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) connection. This data is not audio itself but rather a set of instructions describing what notes are played, when they are played, how long they are held, how hard they are pressed (velocity), and other performance parameters like pitch bend or modulation.

When a musician plays a MIDI keyboard, for instance, each key press and release is translated into MIDI messages. These messages are then transmitted to a connected device, such as a computer, synthesizer, or sampler. The receiving device interprets these MIDI messages and uses them to trigger sounds, control parameters, or record the performance data.

MIDIsyötettä is crucial for composing, performing, and recording electronic music. It allows for the precise reproduction of musical performances, the manipulation of sound parameters in real-time, and the sequencing of complex musical arrangements. Software applications commonly receive and process MIDIsyötettä, enabling users to edit, arrange, and produce music digitally. The standardization of the MIDI protocol ensures that MIDIsyötettä can be sent and received between devices from different manufacturers.
