COLORFUL COMPUTER KEYBOARD KEYPAD

I dream that computer keyboards will end up this awesome at some point. The QuNeo is really a MIDI keypad, the type the thing is electronic musicians experience. You plug it to your PC and run a sound software, completely customizing design from the keypad, either assigning notes towards the keys, or loops, or vocals, etc. In a nutshell, the keypad could be anything you like so that it is. However, that’s only the beginning with QuNeo. It arrives with a good-fabric underneath the keys that may not only sense when they’re being pressed. It may also sense how hard you’re pushing the computer keyboards keys, as well as which corner from the key you’re pushing. Some keys have multi-touch! Appears such as the QuNeo is a touch too effective, however, many people decide to try these instruments just like a fish requires to water really. For example, read this 12 years old kid absolutely rock out a MIDI keypad. The QuNeo awesome computer keypad isn’t just much better than other MIDI keypads, it’s incredibly sleek too. It arrives with an impression sensitive panel, eliminating the requirement for buttons, which makes it literally as thin being an iPad. The development is solely plastic, but doesn’t feel flimsy or rickety, which makes it ideal for heavy-duty live performances. Back lighting around the awesome  computer keyboards keys and keypad not just provide you with the correct input (because there isn’t any screen), but additionally result in the entire keypad a disco light of sorts. Oh how If only I had been gifted enough to experience one of these simple! You can buy it HERE Read the full article

Best MIDI Controller Review 2017

If you intend on creating new and diverse music using a computer, then you will need to find the best MIDI controller to keep track of all the different elements required. The term ‘MIDI’ is a musical acronym for ‘Musical Instrument Digital Interface’.

Basically, every aspect of your music production, including loops, vocals, instruments and effects, can be controlled effectively using a MIDI controller.

These controllers differ from MIDI Keyboards and synthesizers in that they are essentially an instrument to control loops and triggers, while a keyboard makes it easy to arrange notes on a track.

Owning one of the best devices makes an enormous difference to music-making, allowing multiple instruments, microphones and computers to be connected simultaneously. Some of these are handheld devices, and others are a little bulkier.

More about them…

One of the principal tasks of a MIDI device is to trigger a wide range of effects and sounds, and then give the user the ability to manipulate those very sounds into different forms.

Some have pre-existing banks with all the sounds pre-programmed into the best MIDI controller, and also have the ability via USB or other cables to import various downloaded sounds.

MIDI can be seen as a kind of programming language, making sounds available across all the octaves and wave-ranges, giving it in every one of it’s potential forms.

You can then choose one of these forms to incorporate into your music production. The whole synthesizing process can be compacted into a single controller which is capable of delivering instant feedback to the user concerning the status of their production.

Once you get acquainted with your new controller and many of the instruments that can be played virtually, LFO’s can be created for some phenomenal tunes via the use of filters and effects.

It is then possible to save the music data as information to either a computer or other memory storage unit for later recall.

This information is stored as number code for each save- volume, effects, filters  and instrument adjustments via knobs and switches are all recorded precisely for the next time you need to work on it.

Who are MIDI controllers designed for?

These types of controllers come in all shapes, modes, layouts and software capabilities. Finding the best device for you all depends on what you are going to use it for.

If you already make use of a home set-up or a studio rig, then something which can slot into your existing needs is going to be favorable.

The range of professional controllers on the market is huge at the moment, and it can be a tough choice when it comes to the extensive and varied features offered.

If you are already playing and composing music at a serious level, then you will be comfortable with all the associated terminology, and you’ll be able to decide more quickly what you want.

For those of you who are just starting out on your own synthesizing adventures, with maybe some computer software or an iPad application, deciding on the right model can be somewhat overwhelming.

Reading the reviews and opinions in the best device forums will give newbies a better idea of what they need to be purchasing.

What’s included on a MIDI controller?

It can be composed of knobs, buttons, switches, sliders or pressure pads. These give you ultimate control over your music production, some being more finely tuned than others for a more specific sound.

It’s up to you which method (or combination of methods) you prefer to use. The most popular being the traditional knobs, followed shortly after by the backlit button types and then sliders and switches.

The effects that you can create using a controller of this kind are amazing: reverbs, loops, EQ, echoing, distortion and many more.

The banks of these presets come with the controller, and you simply have to choose which one you want to trigger and modify.

Additional sounds can be added from memory sticks if it’s USB ready, or played through a computer into the device through the various input/output cables.

What MIDI’s are available right now?

It can be hard to find the best model to suit your needs exactly, so we have compiled a list of some of the finest pieces of non-keyboard MIDI controllers available to purchase on the market today.

QuNeo 3D Multitouch Pad Controller

The long anticipated QuNeo has finally hit the markets, after delays and setbacks from their kickstarter beginning.  It’s similar to other midi controllers out there, but the designers took the time to figure out just what was needed and what wasn’t necessary.  The build quality looks promising, and the included editor makes it easy to make quick updates to the unit or to its firmware. As for its use as a DJ’s peripheral tool, that question is still yet to be answered.  The placement of the line faders and knobs doesn’t exactly seem like it would be optimal, but we’ll give it time to see first. http://www.digitaldjtips.com/2012/09/review-video-quneo-3d-multitouch-pad-controller
