Multi-instrument SoundsĪpart from the ability of a digital piano to mimic the sound of an acoustic piano, it can also mimic the sounds of a variety of musical instruments to different degrees and quality (depending on the type you buy and your budge).
In short, with a digital piano, you get the ability to create, send, receive, and play MIDI data all in a package of a musical instrument. MIDI Controllers can only transmit MIDI information that could reflect musical parameters such as notes and their intensities when played. While digital pianos have inbuilt sounds and speakers, a MIDI Controller does not and it will need the help of an external source of sound.
You might wonder, then what exactly are the differences between a digital piano and a MIDI controller? Now, apart from the ability to give out sound, digital pianos have other benefits over conventional MIDI Controllers. Benefits of Using a Digital Piano as a MIDI Controller After all, nothing bad in getting a 2-in-1 musical instrument that works well. While a lot of pianists are not thinking of becoming professional music producers, most of them will not mind MIDI features in their pianos. MIDI features have now become part of the essential features that people lookout for in modern-day digital pianos. MIDI Controllers are still designed and defined that way, but many digital pianos have now bridged that gap, being MIDI-capable and having inbuilt speakers that play the sound. The earliest MIDI Controller were made to be separate instruments with singular ability of transmitting MIDI data, but no ability to give out sounds on their own. And a MIDI Controller is any instrument or computer software that can transmit MIDI data to MIDI-compatible devices which are able to interpret them into corresponding musical parameters and produce sounds accordingly. MIDI is an acronym for Musical Instrument Digital Interface.
