Easy MIDI is designed for anyone who uses a digital audio software package but who does not have a MIDI controller keyboard to interface with it. The program allows you to play riffs, bass parts and melodies using your mouse, computer keyboard and keypad, thereby generating a MIDI file to playback.

Create music with no dedicated MIDI controller

This app allows you to replicate the functions of a MIDI controller keyboard using the tools you already have with your computer. Playing tunes or busting out a new beat on your computer keyboard might not be ideal but the idea is that you use it when professional audio equipment is not available to you. It can help if you want to get a song idea recorded when you're out or if your current MIDI controller is not playing ball, for example. Notes are triggered using nothing more than your alphanumeric keys.

A useful digital audio workstation app?

This app is helpful if you don't have space for a keyboard to control your MIDI input when creating music. The drum input system is handy for anyone who wants to create beats on the fly.
