You did, which is why I listed everything specifically not using a musical keyboard. You're making a *lot* of extra work for yourself doing it that way.

Actually, I should have mentioned that I’m using my laptop keyboard for inputing notes, and soundfonts, which BTW, I think I found some good fonts.
