A controller is a device designed to control electronic instruments, software, and hardware without generating sound on its own. It sends performance and control data, allowing parameters such as notes, velocity, modulation, and automation to be played or adjusted in real time. Controllers are central to hands-on workflow, enabling expressive control in both studio production and live performance.
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.
New Gear is unused and in original condition, supplied as it leaves the manufacturer. It is chosen for guaranteed reliability, full functionality, and the assurance of manufacturer support. For example, buying new ensures access to the latest design revisions, included accessories, and official warranty coverage.
USB is a digital connection used to transfer data and power between instruments, computers, and devices. It enables MIDI communication, software integration, firmware updates, and in some cases power delivery, making setup faster and reducing the need for additional cables or interfaces.
