MIDI Interface Quick Guide

By Wilson Trapper


Are you eager to set up your own home studio after hearing about MIDI? Really, you are in a position to complete that for several hundred dollars assuming you currently own a decent MIDI to USB PC. In fact, a home studio can cost a lot more than that, but several hundred dollars really should take care of the basics for you personally. But be warned, in the event that you catch "digital music fever" as so many have, you're likely going to be spending a lot more cash, even to the point of selling your refrigerator (or your kidney) to acquire significantly more gear.

Digital ISA cards consist of the Roland MPU-401 (or MPU-IPC) and the MusicQuest MQX--32, among others. Your greatest bet, nevertheless, is to acquire an external MIDI interface box which will connect for your computer's USB port, such as the MidiMan MidiSport series, the Edirol UM-880, as well as the UM-2. Even more, the Roland JV-5030 can be a sound module having a built-in interface that can be attached directly to a USB port - thereby killing two birds with one stone, even though you'll need a serial driver for your operating system.

You're going to need hardware that permits musical instrument digital interface input and output so that you can setup your home studio- in other words, hardware that facilitates the transfer of data to and from a computer as well as a interface or some comparable unit. You are able to recognize such a unit by the " IN" and "OUT" jacks, which is going to be labeled as such on the outside from the unit itself.

Some of these interfaces are barely "external" at all - they're nothing at all more than cards that you plug into your personal computer. Others are small boxes attach for your computer's USB port or elsewhere. Do not forget that this piece of hardware is an interface, not a sound module. If you'd like your studio to be able to play actual sounds, your going to need to have added hardware to connect to those IN and OUT jacks.

In any case, it's possibly best to buy something that you simply can plug into your computer's MIDI to USB port, since that's where the market appears to be heading at this point.
