This video, via DSP Projects’s Rupert Brown, takes a look at MIDI controller basics:

This week I cover the basic concept of MIDI and Controllers as I sometimes get asked questions like “Will this controller sound good for bass lines” or “Will this (USB) MIDI controller work with X interface”.  So instead of repeating the same basic info I thought I would do an episode on it (so I never need to explain it again!)

It’s aimed towards beginners, but does a good job at explaining the basics of what a MIDI controller does.
