David, Do you have any keyboard that you could hook up? I don't have a midi keyboard, but I have a yamaha keyboard. It is able to do something with midi files though. I used to use it to make midis. Did you mean you were wondering if you could use your computer keyboard on your laptop to play the notes. I don't know how that would work at all. That takes me completely by surprise. I know I'm not much help, just want to make sure I'm understandin' things.

I am stranded in a house without a midi keyboard. Yes, I know, frightening isn't it? I have lots of softsynths and so I want to know whether I can use my keyboard on my laptop to make music. Does anyone do this and how o how do they do it? Thank you _________________ David Eagle www.soundclick.com/davideagle
