The bolded section above is a short-form explanation of how you would use a MIDI keyboard as a piano, however, there are many options that extend beyond the traditional DAW-and-keyboard format. You can also use a free DAW like GarageBand or BandLab. Download QuickMIDI (macOS), or Synthesia (PC/macOS/Linux), and then configure them so your MIDI keyboard is a recognized MIDI device. To use a MIDI keyboard as a piano, connect it to your computer with a USB, Thunderbolt, or USB-C cable. But setting one up is not necessarily the easiest thing to do, at least when you’ve never done it before.
The other alternative is getting either an acoustic piano, a high-end electronic keyboard at a much higher cost, or another type of MIDI controller like a MIDI guitar JamStik (which is a pretty cool device).īut what if you just want to play the piano? Using a MIDI keyboard as a piano is an easy and dirt cheap way of doing so, moreover, it can actually add a level of versatility you may not even find with a traditional piano. Learning how to use a MIDI keyboard or a MIDI controller is one skill that you have to have as a modern-day musician.
