IS there a way to get DJ or techno sounds for the MIDI keyboards?
I know its a lame question but i just got the program.
Is there a way to get them for free

I think what your talking about is a "sampler" or "soft synth". A soft synth or sampler is triggerable by an external MIDI controller/keyboard or sequencer. A soft synth usually comes with it's own sounds and a sampler allows you to create samples from *.wav files and other formats to be triggered by a MIDI controller or sequencer.

SoundForge will record sounds and you can edit and save them to *.wav files but you will still need a sampler and convert them to the format supported by the sampler to play them with a MIDI controller or sequencer.

I'd suggest you search for "sampler" or "soft synth" on the internet, do some research to see where you need to go from there.
