Computer Keyboard for Midi?

[Alexmc1988]

Can you use your computer keyboard as a midi controller in PRo Tools 9 and with windows 7? I can do it in Cubase.

Native support, no. Alternatively, Chirp.

You'd be much better off with a real keyboard. I got out cheap by picking up an old Ensoniq Mirage keyboard. Cost me $50 and it works! I just leave in one of the floppy disks and turn it on. It defaults to midi channel 1 and works like a charm(at least for the organ sounds I need it for using DB-33).

I use Chirp also, works great.
Also, there is no space on my home studio for an audio/physical keyboard.
So sometimes the keyboard is just find, especially for just holding a couple of keys and moving from preset to preset on structure, or other instruments.
