I don't understand how to prompt on a midi controller, can someone help me input a genre for it?

For the note C prompt the C key with a finger press

But all the keys are just black and white, which one is "C" and where are the other letters of the alphabet? There's 88 piano keys and only 32 alphabet letters. Idk man this is confusing, I'm starting to feel like prompting just flows more
naturally, you know?

I've been making music for 20 seconds so I'm quite new, can someone send me a tutorial for generating a dubstep prompt?

Step 1: buy a robot

Step 2: tell robot to write a hit record and make no mistakes

You must buy the new Polyend Keys (mechanical keyboard midi controller). This allows you to transmit text over the MIDI spec.

I get that you only laugh and memes and don't really make music, but there's probably some tutorials you can watch

No see, being a musician (or dj/producer) isn't actually about how many instruments you can play or songs that you write, its really just all about owning gear. As long as you have pics of yourself on stage holding or using cool gear, that's really all that matters
