Midi stands for musical instrument digital interface, and originated in 1982. The first Midi controller was created because someone wanted to work out a way to control all of the voices on a multiple voice synthesizer. Today Midi controllers have literally revolutionised the world of DJing.

DJ Midi controllers are no longer restricted to professional use. Increases in technology and greater affordability has made it much easier for any DJ to experience the wonderful effects of a Midi controller. Here at udmdj.co.uk we stock a wide range of Midi controllers to suit a vast range of requirements and budgets.

Midi controllers are an impressive piece of hardware for today’s DJ. They basically use a number (Midi note) to digitally replicate the sounds made by musical instruments. They do not actually make sounds themselves. In the world of DJing, they are used to control a DJ’s digital music and do not require a mouse or a keyboard.

A DJ Midi controller works with software and can be used to control several different pieces of hardware. The most popular type of Midi controller for DJs is the non-keyboard controller. Faders, pads, switches and knobs can be used to control your music and create a sound that is unique to you – the modern and increasingly popular way to manipulate your DJ software.

USB Midi Controllers Also Available

Alternatively, if you are looking for something with much greater functionality then the Vestax VCI400, the Traktor S4 or the Pioneer DDJ Ergo might be more appropriate.
