  Hi David; I'm new to the list. I'm Tina Wilson, and I just invested in Sound 
Forge for my voice-over profession. I just had to say that you must be a 
fantastic piano player because it sounds like you have played for years. I'm 
just learning how to become an audio engineer; so most of the things that are 
talked about on this list, I don't even understand yet, but hopefully, one day. 
Have a great weekend. Tina

    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
