Image Midikeyboard.jpg thumb right A close up of one style of MIDI keyboard based on the piano user interface A MIDI keyboard is typically a piano style user interface musical keyboardkeyboard device used for sending MIDI signals or commands over a USB or MIDI cable to other devices connected and operating on the same MIDI protocol interface. This could also be a personal computer running software such as a digital audio workstation DAW that listens to and sends MIDI information to other MIDI devices connected by cable or running internal to the personal computer system. The basic MIDI keyboard does not produce sound. Instead, MIDI information is sent to an electronic module capable of reproducing an array of digital sounds or samples that resemble traditional analog musical instruments. These samples or waveforms are also referred to as voices or timbres. Not all MIDI keyboards are based on the piano style user interface. Many MIDI keyboard controllers have pads or buttons that also send MIDI signals, and most pads have a velocity sensing capability so that varying volumes of sound can be played voiced. Another such keyboard device is the Continuum instrument Continuum Fingerboard which is based on a fretless type keyboard interface enabling portamento style note changes at will during play.
