There is a gadget that allows entry of midi piano keyboard info to a PC. I wonder if anybody has tried it yet, as I am thinking of getting one.

Prodikeys

A "normal looking" PC text keyboard with a piano keyboard in front, which can be covered to simulate a wrist rest pad. It has 37 piano keys (F-f) with octave shifting, pitch shifting and note sustain, PS/2 connection, CD player controls, web shortcut and programmable buttons. It also comes with s/w, drivers and allows saving in .wav, .mp3, or .mid formats, as well as some "tutoring" music stuff, rhythms, tunes, etc.

About AUD$199.00
its Australian site is here, but there may be overseas sites too.

Note: a 37 key piano keyboard is within the range of a standard piano accordion keyboard, as in full size 120 bass instruments they range from about 34-41 keys.

I don't know if there are versions for other OSes.

Please let me know if there are other similar gadgets, or any info on connecting a midi piano keyboard to a PC.
