Is there a way to use a normal keyboard as a midi keyboard?
I can’t afford a midi keyboard on my student budget, but I love writing music in my spare time, and have just got Reason, and can’t cope any longer without a midi keyboard. Is there any software that can allow me to use a normal keyboard as a midi keyboard? It wouldn’t be that hard… Oh, and by the way, I’m on vista, not mac!
Thanks for your help.
No, you would need MIDI to communicate with your PC. There are pretty cheap MIDI keyboards out there though. There are some that are just one or two octaves, known as a MIDI controller. Even some of the "supermarket"keyboards feature MIDI. You could also try EBAY, for MIDI controller, and MIDI keyboard. Im sure you can come up with something for under $100. Then you can record with any D.A.W., use virtual synths.
If you get one, google Kore Player. This is a great free professional VST synth, you can play all the sounds with your MIDI controller.
Good Luck.
Also, check my site, go to home digital recording
