At the moment, I don't use MIDI for any of my recording. I have several synths which I all use regular audio outs into the soundcard.
A friend of mine told me I should use MIDI, but I don't see why. I could use MIDI to connect the keyboards to control each other, but I don't yet have a need for that.
As far as playing a MIDI line into my software, the only sounds that will come from my synth are those that are MIDI compatible from my synth right? The MIDI is not going to produce the exact same sounds as my audio outs would, so what would I need it for?
I do understand use for connecting MIDI to control modules and the like, but exactly what are all the uses for actually connecting MIDI to the computer for performance purposes? It seems like everything I would need would involve regular audio.
Now, if I am correct, a use for a MIDI performance line into the computer would be for software sampling...but what else? I am surely missing something here.
