Analogue is sound generation based on physical electronic circuits such as oscillators, filters, and amplifiers rather than digital processing. It is used for its continuously variable signals, natural movement, and harmonic character that respond directly to hands-on control. For example, an analogue instrument might be used to create a warm bass line or an evolving lead sound with subtle changes in tone and texture as it is played.
MIDI is a digital control standard used to transmit performance and control data between electronic instruments, computers, and hardware devices. It carries information such as note data, velocity, timing, and parameter changes rather than audio, allowing instruments and software to communicate, stay in sync, and control each other. MIDI is fundamental to modern music production, sequencing, and live performance setups.
