You were soled duds, I expect.

Yeah, sure..!

Living examples of the very real dangers that await those attending Basschat Bass Bashes..!

Be wary of what you wish for ... Understanding Power Amplifier Power Ratings ...

When all done here (but take your time; the pieces are worth it...), you may be interested in voting for the Basschat Photo Competition, to be found here ... Basschat 2018 Photo Competition Voting, July ... The theme, chosen by xgsjx, was 'Water.' Give 'em all a good look; choose the three that best represent the theme, in your view. Thanks in advance

That was what I was afraid of.

Is this another example of the necessity of correct punctuation..? Hmm...

Foderas have crap in them..?

Does this come close to fitting the bill..? Yamaha MM8 ... There's also, in similar fashion, the ... Novation X-station ... They won't have the DAW control stuff, like transport keys, but can pilot any Vst's for recording, and have on-board sounds, too.

It's 'only' a MIDI controller, so no on-board sounds, nor headphone out. Connection to 'anything' is required to hear anything more than the keys being pressed (and they're quiet...).

+1 ^^

T'wasn't the booze so much (my tipple is Earl Grey tea, with a twist of lemon...), it was the regular, quality gigs I was appreciating..! Cheers, though; here's to you and yours.

[Peals of laughter all round...]

As mentioned above, an easy enough starting point would be to download Reaper for Windows (free to evaluate, with no restrictions, and inexpensive if you decide to adopt it permanently...). It's easy enough to get Reaper to recognise that keyboard as a MIDI source. To hear anything, you'll want a Vst 'plug-in', which will be easily set up in Reaper. There are literally hundreds out there to choose from; to get at least a piano sound, I'd recommend one called '4 Front Piano', which is free, and ultra-simple to use. One big advantage to a set-up of the sort is that there are many on this forum able to assist with any niggles that crop up, to get it up and running smoothly and quickly. Hope this helps.

... and you're worth it.

This is somewhat harsh; there have been, over the decades, thousands of records sold having been recorded on tape, and not a few recorded on cassette tape. All is relative; there is 'noise' involved in pretty well every medium. Is it discernable..? Does it detract..? Does it add something..? Is 'hi-fi' even the goal..? Those questions and others may be relevant.

Fixed.

Hmm... Leaves me cold, I'm afraid.

+1 ^^

I know the feeling..! My 6-string fretless has my name on it ( a present from Our Eldest...)

Such modesty. You're more than just a 'maybe', Shirley..?
