MIDI & Control: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the benefit of MIDI 2.0?
MIDI 2.0, featured in our 2026 controller range, allows for "Property Exchange," meaning your hardware and software talk to each other automatically. It also offers **increased resolution (32-bit)** for much smoother filter sweeps and velocity response compared to the original MIDI standard.
What is the difference between Weighted and Synth-Action keys?
**Fully-Weighted** keys (like the Arturia KeyLab 88) mimic the feel of a real piano, ideal for pianists. **Synth-Action** keys are lighter and faster, perfect for playing lead lines, organ parts, or triggering drum samples quickly.
Will these controllers work with my specific DAW?
Yes. All controllers at gigstore use standard MIDI protocols compatible with **Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, and Pro Tools**. Many models also include custom "scripts" for deep, automatic integration with these programs.
Do you ship MIDI hardware to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Oman?
Yes. **gigstore** provides secure, insured shipping for all studio controllers across the GCC, ensuring your gear arrives calibrated and ready for your next production.
