Default Re: Keyboard control of Virtual Instruments

Terry,
I am using a 20 year old keyboard (Roland W-30 Workstation) as a Midi controller to trigger virtual instruments (primarily Xpand). The Roland doesn't even have USB connections, I don't think USB even existed back then. The great thing about using virtual instruments is your initial performance doesn't have to be perfect. You can fix timing errors or incorrect notes with your mouse after the fact. Easy to change a major chord to a minor, seventh, etc., by dragging a note here and there. Once you get the hang of it, you will love it.
