By console I mean the box that actually stores the sounds that the midi keyboard uses. For example:
Yes, I want to use the software versions that you can buy of existing synthesizers and play those sounds using a midi keyboard. I also want to sample sounds and play them back at the appropriate note on the midi keyboard like what I can do with my Casio SK-1. I'm assuming I'd need to do something like
Sound -> mic/line in -> computer recording program -> midi interface
I'm just not sure how to accomplish that.
