I have a small midi controller I bought years ago.
I plug it into the computer via the midi input.
The sounds is generated by the sound card in my computer. Hope this helps
Yes, John, this also helps. Never thought about a small MIDI controller I can keep at the side of my desk and out of the way until I need it. I'm going to use my Creative Labs on-screen keyboard for now, and when I go to the music store, I'll check out some MIDI controller keyboards so I can spread my fingers out.
You guys helped a lot. I don't think I could take one more day of picking up and putting down the Melodica......and maybe taking 20 minutes to ID three notes!
