Three Easy Steps on The best way to Clean Your MIDI Controller
Posted by Kay Stanford Jr Kastum at 2:21 AMPerforming artists are, more often than not, busy folks, they compose music, go to venues where they think they can find their motivation to find music, go to gigs, bars to play their music, and so on. We don't always make time to stop for an instant and have the time to clean our MIDI controllers - it is tedious and time-intensive. But admit it or not, there are still rare moments when we come to a realisation that our musical tools rather need a little cleaning. Well, for all those busy musicians out there, I have come up with three simple steps for you to give your MIDI controllers a little rest from all the dust and dirt without you having to go through a tedious and time-intensive act.
Utilise a clean material with white-colored toothpaste to wipe your keys with. You may also use milk or water and put it in a material but it musn't be dripping wet. Rub the keys carefully but don't start cleaning them. Wipe the remaining like the knobs, faders, LED, screen with the same fabric you utilized for cleaning the keys.
Wait for the MIDI controller to dry and then check all of its connections as well as its condition. Plug in all the wires and plug it in before you open up the MIDI keyboard. Turn the volumes up and the other functionality as well and be observant about any sounds you are not supposed to hear or any unusual aftermath of your cleaning.
Ultimately, for storage, store the MIDI controller upside down so that you can minimize the accumulation of dirt and dust onto the keyboard but instead they're only on the lower side of the controller. That will save you time and effort also.
Following these steps will not only keep you from all the hours and effort you may waste by taking your whole MIDI controller down and individually cleaning its pieces, you will also extend the life of your MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard.
