Hello MIDI community,

I run a small independent digital news platform called The Bharat Post and I’ve been thinking about how to blend music tech with journalism to create more engaging content. Specifically, I'm curious how MIDI tools like controllers, live performance gear, or light-show integrations—can be used in news storytelling and media production.

Here are a few questions I’d love your input on:

What MIDI hardware/software setups are effective for incorporating music or sound effects into live video segments or podcast intros?
Have people used Web MIDI or Bluetooth MIDI in browser-based news stories or interactive websites?
How do you manage latency, reliability, and portability when using MIDI gear outside of studio environments?
Are there inexpensive or creative MIDI lighting or show control tricks that can enhance virtual events or online storytelling?
Would love to learn from folks who’ve experimented with this. Thanks in advance—excited to see what ideas come up!
