A digital mixer combines many audio channels into one sound. MIDI is the standard way music software and instruments send notes and controls to each other (midi.org). A MIDI controller is a box of knobs, pads or keys that sends those controls.
For us: Our mixer, a QSC TouchMix-30 Pro, is in Studio 1. The MIDI controllers in Studio 2 control music and visuals by hand. Three small Windows helpers connect MIDI between our music and visuals software.
