Its sole purpose is to [Bm] produce information, which it does very well and in this way.
There are two sets of strings.
This set of string takes care of pitch.
When a string makes contact with a fret, it sends a signal to the computer inside saying what the pitch of the note is.
[E] This set of strings
takes [Em] care of note on, note off, velocity and loudness parameters.

and translate [Fm] it into one which
will [Bm]
[Em] control synthesizers, series.
