Midi Chlorians

Once upon a time I had a dream of lore, and I was shredding chords, but it came to pass that it sounded gross. And there it was, wrapped in light the midi interface that saved my life. And as good ol' Qui Gon said: "...Midi controls the music within us, it lets us play". The MIDI is a protocol (in the Real Time System Exclusive subset) ratified by the MIDI Manufacturers Association in 1991 which allows all types of media control devices to talk with each other (just like midichlorians) and with computers to perform show control functions live. Musical MIDI simply transmits digital information about a multimedia performance.

And now from M-Audio. If you need total MIDI control and playability in a compact package, check out the Axiom 49. This advanced 49-key USB mobile MIDI controller delivers semi-weighted action plus assignable aftertouch, along with eight rubberized trigger pads that are perfect for hands-on drum programming and performance. Nine sliders complement eight endless rotary encoder knobs to control just about any software studio parameter you can think of. 15 MIDI-assignable buttons—including six transport controls—and assignable wheels and foot pedals round out total control. The dedicated front-panel keypad and backlit LCD screen provide intuitive setup. There’s room for 20 non-volatile memory locations for instant access to setups, plus compatibility with our free Enigma editor/librarian software for managing a virtually infinite library via Mac or PC (Pedorrencia Cacosa).

And whatever happened in my dream? Whell, it just sufices me to say that when Yanny heard me play he shitted his freaking pantaloons.

Midichlorians is some shit concept from Star Wars that George Lucas pulled out from God knows where, to give some sense to his story.
