MIDI Pickup

MIDI is an acronym meaning Musical Instrument Digital Interface. MIDI controllers are usually keyboards which are used to to connect to computer based sequencers and can control multiple instruments/synthesizers and sound modules. MIDI makes playing everything from a trumpet to a cello on a keyboard possible. A guitar MIDI pickup converts the guitars analogue signal into a digital one. This gives guitarists the ability to use their instrument to sound like they are playing other instruments in the same way keyboard players are able to.
