1. Cable Connection
Connect an external MIDI master keyboard via a standard 5-pin MIDI cable to
the MIDI input.
The MIDI data will be transmitted via the USB cable to the host computer and
then to the MIDI software. A direct MIDI through from the input to a MIDI output
of the Nanoface without MIDI software on the host computer is not possible.
2. Record the MIDI data in a MIDI program
The MIDI input is available in any MIDI program or sequencer. Received MIDI
events can be recorded after the selection of the Nanoface MIDI input as
source for a MIDI track.

What is MIDI?
MIDI signals include trigger instructions for
a sound device, but no sound. It needs a
MIDI sound module, a virtual instrument or
a sampler to create an audible “sound”. In
contrary to audio files, like WAV or AIF or even
MP3, MIDI files are very small.
Example: A piano solo played on the master
keyboard creates trigger information: note,
octave, note on and note off, dynamic and
others.
This information will be interpreted by a MIDI
sound module, a sampler or synthesizer, which
generate the final piano sound.
