Midi Controller Keyboards?

Post by TomG10-7 » Sun Nov 15, 2009 10:47 pm

Hey, I was wondering, as i am new to this. Can I use any UsB/Midi controller keyboard with any software?
for instance, I use FL studio 8 XXL Producer Edition and I want to buy a keyboard to plg into my laptop, I was thinking of buying an EMU Xbord 49 Pro to start off with, would this work? Or do only certain keybords work with certain software?
sorry about the noob question :lol:
thanks in advance

as long as the drivers are supported and recognized in the software yes.
and generally yes they work with most soft. a better way to go is a midi card that is universally supported and direct midi cabling into it

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is an industry-standard protocol defined in 1982 that enables electronic musical instruments such as keyboard controllers, computers, and other electronic equipment to communicate, control, and synchronize with each other.

I can garuantee that every piece of hardware you find with a USB port will be compatible with all the software you will ever want to use. :)
