Key Midi
The MIDI Controls On An Electronic Piano Keyboard
Almost all electronic piano keyboard functions have MIDI controls. They use an interface to send data as well as receive data. Now what is this data thats sent or received by these controls. For the simplest type of keyboard, data would be sent at the moment you press a key on a keyboard. These signals would then determine the specific note that has been pressed and the duration of the act or pressing down of the note. The duration has to be acknowledged because the amount of time the key is being pressed down for; has to be the same on the receiver or other keyboard source.
Along with this signal there are other factors working which enables the success of the MIDI control. Each key that you touch has a sensor to it. Now, the function of this touch sensor is to sense the amount pressure that is being applied to the key and according the depth of sound produced, that note will vary. For more pressure the sound will be deeper while for less pressure it will be mild. Previously, only professional digital keyboards included MIDI. However, today all the electronic piano keyboards use it for effective sound production.
The main purpose of the MIDI on an electronic piano keyboard is actually to produce a variety of sounds rather than just improving the quality of sound. This function is often preferred, as it enables the user to produce a variety of digital effects in the music he or she is playing. You can have effects like delay, reverberation, tremolo and the very common chorus effect. These effects help enhance the sound sensation of your music and therefore create different registers of track in the listener.
Also, auto harmony can be used to create complemental notes of each single note at any pitch possible. There are also the modulation and pitch wheels that are added benefits along with the sustain pedals which help hold the notes for as long as necessary.
Before MIDI was a common feature, keyboards were quite boring but now, every electronic piano keyboard can be used to produce a wide variety of sounds and effects.

midi cable to a xlr jack?can i do it my key board only has midi jacks?
does any1 know how i can connect my keyboard it has midi jacks to my mixer it has instrument jacks and xlr jacks or mic jacks.are there any connect or like devices.cuz i dont wanna get a new keyboard
Unfortunately, you CANNOT possibly insert an MIDI cable into an XLR connector, even if you MANAGED to find one or make one, because they handle completely different signals.
MIDI is not audio - it carries data which tells a MIDI device which sounds to play at which pitch/volume etc, where-as an XLR carries an audio signal. Therefore, the two cannot be inter-connected. You may be able to find your way around it with an audio interface, but if you want to stick in the analog music world, buy a new keyboard.
I`ve been an audio engineer for a while now, and trust me - buy a good keyboard with stereo outputs, because MIDI is only good if you have some nice virtual instruments installed on your computer or a nice virtual instrument device.
