Anyway to trigger MIDI through your laptop keyboard
So say I'm sitting there and dont have my midi controller, how do I play midi through my laptop keyboard if I'm trying to program a synth or something? Hard to do without having some sort of way to play a keyboard. Besides penciling in a motif but I like having more flexibility of what I'm playing when I'm programming a sound.
Can you even do it in PT11? |

Re: Anyway to trigger MIDI through your laptop keyboard
You need a third party piece of software that can emulate a MIDI keyboard. e.g. http://sourceforge.net/projects/vmpk/. It will likely quickly become worth buying a small portable MIDI keyboard.

I downloaded the program but it crashes on every launch. Is there anything else to install other than VMPK?

Create an Instrument track and play in or manually enter a bunch of notes. Save that as a template for when you want to work on synth patches. Use loop mode in PT as needed. Done. |
