MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It gives you a wide range of electronic musical instruments and sounds. You get a Keyboard like the one above and connect it to your computer. Open up Pro Tools and create a new track with the settings as stereo - Instrument track.
Go to inserts / multi-channel / instrument / Mini Grand or Xpand!2.
Mini grand allows you to compose if you know how to use the keyboard.
Xpand!2 gives you a sound bank and you can choose from a wide range of sounds and play them using the keyboard to create a sound. There are so many sounds and you have to experiment with a lot of them.

To record a sound, click the record + play at the top and start playing the keyboard. Double click the blue area to get a mini editor, which allows you to manually change the notes.
EQ
Pro Tools has a big sound bank. You just need to know where to look. In one of the lessons i learnt how to make a sound, sound like its coming out of a radio. You use the EQ to reduce the high frequency sounds and a bit of the low frequency sounds and increase a bit of the mid frequency sounds.
Another way to do it is to go onto preset, factory default, special effects and transistor radio. It will give you a rough version of what it will sound like and you can do a few tweaks to make it sound better.
