MidiKey is a lightweight and easy-to-use Mac OS X application that enables you to play 128 different instruments on your Mac using your normal keyboard or a MIDI keyboard. In other words, MidiKey is able to magically transform your keyboard into a musical instrument.
The program includes a straightforward keyboard user interface that shows how to use your keyboard as a musical instrument. Keys are divided into different colors that produce distinct sounds. Moreover, two panels allow you to control the instrument volume, pan, reverb and set the mode and pitch offset.
MidiKey supports MIDI input from an external MIDI keyboard which can include MIDI control messages like sustain or pitch bend. Apart from this, MidiKey supports multiple keyboard layouts: English, German, Swedish as well as French.
In addition to the GUI, the app includes several menus on the system bar where you can select the instruments and keyboard layout time. A variety of instruments are supported: piano, organ, guitar, brass, reed, pipe, ethnic, percussive, sound effects and more.
Another benefit of using MidiKey is that it can send MIDI OUT event data to popular digital audio workstations, such as Apple Logic Pro or Garageband. What’s more, the app supports controlling the octaves (using the Up or Down arrow keys), the pitch (using the Left or Right arrow keys), playing vibrato notes (holding Shift) and more.
In conclusion, MidiKey is a nifty audio application for both novice and professional musicians that want to play various instruments with their keyboard. It can even receive MIDI data from a MIDI keyboard and send it Apple’s native audio applications for further processing.
