Hello, I just purchased/downloaded the software online. I understand that a plugin key board is needed. However, I am very excited to use the software, and is there any possible way to use my computer keyboard until I receive a plugin keyboard?
Thank you.
You can play the keyboard with mouseclicks, however there are softwareprograms which can map keystrokes to midichannel commands.
The mouse, for the window image with the keyboard, allow a impossible thing. You can make fast glissando of white and black keys together in sequence.
I want to see someone in this world be able to do that well in a real piano.
You can also take a midi file, something you created or something else, and import it into Pianoteq, then listen to it. There's an option to do that in the 'File' menu.
Michael H has a good solution for you.
If you don't have any piano midi files, here a few sites where you can get them:
For classical piano:
http://www.classicalpiano.com/
http://www.unheardbeethoven.org/search/
http://www.piano-midi.de/
http://www.piano-e-competition.com/
for this one click on COMPETITION HISTORY at the top of the page and pick the year you want.
for blues:
http://gmmtx.tripod.com/
look for Bob Mace
http://www.vanbasco.com/search.html?q=b...perpage=10
This site could be considered the "master site" - just type in the name of the song you want.
I have literally dozens of links, but many aren't piano solos.
Don't forget the easiest way to load a midi into Pianoteq - open up explorer on the screen beside Pianoteq, and drag and drop the midi file onto the top bar where the song is listed, and hit play.
