I understand that you find it easier to play your ideas into the sequencer
and then prepare them for notation. But even if you play by ear you will
need to know some of the basics of music notation if you hope to produce a
readable, accurate printed score.

Hi Sharon, If it were me, I'd have to find some kind of 88 note keyboard. M
audio makes an inexpencive keyboard. I can't remember the model number but,
it's only about $600.00 or so. It is also semi weighted. It only weighs 17
pounds . It only has about seven sounds on board. However, you could use
your 61 note keyboard and midi it up to the 88 note and put it on a double
teard stand and have them in front of you. and then you'd be able to play
live. And being that the M audio keyboard only weighs about 17 pounds, you
could stand it on end in a conor if room is an ishue. Anyway, that's what
I'd do. When I was a kid, I had a 7 by 10 bed room and I had an upright
piano my sterio and 4 speakers a bed and dresser. I use to sit on the bed
and play the piano. That's a little tite but it worked.
Sorry for such a long explaination. I'll get back to you with the corect
model number. Hope that helps.
David
