Using CPU Keyboard - How to for Piano playing?

God, what a long discussion - Not boring, not un-interesting, but long.

Is there an easier way to incorporate knowledge into the human
brain other than by reading? Is there a Flashcard Slot in the side
of my head where I can insert the software to be able to do
this stuff and not just learn how to do it.

It seems like with this, and other softwares, all I do is try to learn it,
and in the course of learning it something gets created, more like
notes scribbled on a page which end up to be projects deemd
done, or at least tried.

Well, all I'm looking to do is use the keyboard piano, and Fruity Loops
FL keyboard, etc. by using my cpu keyboard keys.

Can somebody tell me why
A. SF7 did not include toggle to use internal/external keyboard?
B. Real time recording of same for either sequencing as you call it and not
just analog via stereo mix?

I mean this is where we are right in terms of using
a computer to do this stuff? Now I have to, not optionally, but
have to incorporate an external piano keyboard in order to
be able to accomplish something on this sortware tool.

By the way, Sony Video Vegas Rocks, though there seems to
be some complaints about not being able to handle midi, probably
well founded at that, but as far as video I have not run
into a situation where I had to "work around" a creative
production need by using another software program, etc.

Okay, enough about that, what about the cpu keyboard solution
needed as described above.

Well, since nobody has anything right now on
this topic, I've discoverd that Fruity Loops studio
has the kind of option I was looking for -
A. A toggle switch to say cpu keyboard vs. external Midi keyboard when playing piano.

So, in the meanwhile, until it is discovered how SF can handled this
simple request, i'll be playing on the small laptop keyboard with
my Fruity Loops Piano, and electric guitar, ... he he.

Souund Forge does not accept MIDI input. It is a WAV recorder/editor.
You can hook the audio outputs from your music keyboard to the line inputs on your sound card to record the audio in Sound Forge.
