Topic: Can someone recommend a how-to guide for novice?
I am an older (60s) amateur classical pianist and I have managed to use Kontakt software with some patches for historical instruments in the past, with mixed results. Can someone recommend a book that explains the whole process of connecting midi controllers, audio interfaces, speakers, and software? In as non-technical language as possible?
I am stuck with a Windows computer, so please don't recommend anything that requires Apple or Linux.
I have yet to purchase Pianoteq, but I am tempted, because of the range of historic instruments and the fact that one of the nicest pianos I ever encountered was a Blüthner grand. Plus I am intrigued that a clavichord is included.
I gather the software is self-contained (i.e., doesn't require a midi player like Kontakt). I have a Kurzweil SP2X, but I am prepared to replace that with a more modern controller if necessary.
Thanks to anyone with concrete suggestions.
