Trusted Business Insights has published a comprehensive market research report on, Global MIDI Controller Market by Product Type (25 Key, 37 Key, 49 Key, 61 Key, 88 Key and Others), By Application (Household, Stage and Other), and by Region -Global Forecast to 2030, which offers a holistic view of the global MIDI Controller market through systematic segmentation that covers every aspect of the target market.

The global MIDI Controller market was valued at US$ 103.2 Mn in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 122.0 Mn by 2030 at a CAGR of 1.7%.

MIDI controller is a hardware or software that produces and transmits Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI) data to MIDI-enabled devices. They are used to activate sound and control parameters of electronic music performance. MIDI controllers do not have the capability to produce sound by itself, instead they have an interface that performers can press or touch. This action triggers the MIDI data, which is then transmitted into synthesizer using MIDI cable. The synthesizer in turn generates sound which can then be amplified through loudspeakers. There are various types of MIDI controller available in the market, however electronic musical keyboard MIDI controller is the most commonly used. These controllers are available in various sizes, that range from 25-key, 2-octave models, to full-sized 88-key instruments. When keys are played, the keyboard MIDI controller guides MIDI data regarding velocity, pitch of the note and duration, which can be used to generate sounds from a MIDI-compatible synthesizer. The advantages of a keyboard controller are portability and versatility. They give control virtually over the entire range of modern music hardware and software. Other common types of MIDI controller are wind controller and drum and percussion controllers. Wind controllers allow breath and pitch glide control to transmit MIDI data. Drum and percussion controllers are normally hit with sticks to create MIDI data.

MIDI controller provides modern computer generated audio by offering a system which has the ability of creating sound and music on a computer. This is the key factor influencing the increase in the adoption rate of MIDI controller by music producers.

However, Sound created by MIDI instruments are dependent on the quality of sound card from overall sound. This may affect the adoption of MIDI instruments, which in turn would dampen demand for MIDI controllers. Nonetheless, introduction of new technologies such as neova ring MIDI controller which identifies extremely natural hand gestures and clearly interprets each subtlety into musical expression is another factor driving the market growth.

Global MIDI Controller market is segmented on the basis of product type, application and region. On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into 25 Key, 37 Key, 49 Key, 61 Key, 88 Key and Others. The 49 Key segment accounts for the majority share, followed by 61 Key segment.

Patent Number: CN103996394A

Plucked-string instrument perform data generating device

Abstract

The invention relates to a plucked-string instrument perform data generating device. The device comprises a MIDI input interface, which is used to receive MIDI data; a plurality of infrared emitters and a plurality of infrared receivers, which are used to form infrared strings, wherein the infrared strings are in a radial distribution to form a sector; an infrared emitter and an infrared receiver which are applied to a mute switch; a micro-controller, which is used to receive chord data and interrupt data of the infrared strings from the MIDI input interface and then converts the data into MIDI data; a data output interface, which is connected to the micro-controller, and contact sensors, which are arranged on the corresponding infrared receivers. The plucked-string instrument perform data generating device has a sector-shaped infrared string distribution, contact sensors are arranged on the infrared string sensors, and thus dual sensors (infrared string and contact sensor) are formed. The performers can use different sensors to control the same target (for example, the perform of a certain string) according to the actual needs, the simulation of plucked-string instrument sound data is realized, and the device is user-friendly.

Below are the key development related to MIDI Controller Market in 2020 and 2021.


January 2021: Behringer is teaming up with ZAQ Audio on the BCR32 MIDI controller. After 15 years, the BCR2000 is getting a refresh, with the Zaquencer available straight out-the-box. It was made apparent upon the release of Swing that Behringer’s customers would prefer an original MIDI controller design. It seems like the German brand has taken this on board, announcing on social media that it is set to revise its BCR2000 controller after 15 years as the BCR32, with a host of modern upgrades and, most notably, with a contribution from ZAQ Audio. The Zaquencer, created by ZAQ Audio, was an alternative firmware for the BCR2000 that transformed the controller into a 32-step sequencer. When equipped with the Zaquencer, Behringer’s controller became quite a powerful tool. For this reason, the inclusion of the firmware in the BCR32 is being celebrated by Behringer fans on social media. Source

November 2020: BEHRINGER ACCUSED OF "COPYING" ARTURIA WITH NEW SYNTH SWING. Behringer has been accused of copying Arturia’s Keystep with their latest release, the SWING.The 32-key MIDI controller from Behringer comes with the two pitch and modulation touch-strips, onboard arpeggiator and 64-step sequencer that you see on Keystep. It also has largely the same buttons, switches and knobs, which are labeled the same and are in pretty much the same position. Source
