Howdy all,
I don't have an external MIDI keyboard/controller. I would like to play my computer keyboard through one of my synths, rather than drawing in bars on the Piano Roll Editor. Can I use a software keyboard (such as Bome's Mouse Keyboard) to play these synths? I have read the tutorial at http://www.acidfanatic.com/index.php?section=home&page=midi_tutorial but this was not much help.

Thanks for your help, Nathan

I think there are some free screen-based keyboards on the web. Not sure where they are. Also, some VSTi come with an on-screen keyboard. Is that what you are looking for?

Yeah, if the VSTi came with a keyb then that'd be fine. Do u know any? But I also wanted a keyboard that I could connect through ACID to play my existing VSTi's...
