A question to be fielded regarding Midi
So imagine this setup...
Laptop ------> Pa System
Midi Controller ---------> Laptop
Is a midi/usb interface necessary? Is the cord enough?
Or will I be able to control all of my controller's functions and parameters simply with a USB cord to the laptop?
My reasoning is that a sole cord has worked with GarageBand (and I'm guessing other DAWs) without the need of a midi box.
Since the sound is coming from the laptop, not the controller itself, couldn't I in theory bypass the need for a USB interface?
