Hi everyone. So I was just thinking about how to incorporate a keyboard into some of the shows I am a part of to add sounds that we don't have musicians for. Does anyone know of a good software for your computer or even a good keyboard that is easy for switching out "instruments/sounds" for another. For example, if you wanted to go in a score from harp to harpsichord is there an easy way to do it? I have a midi keyboard and a macbook so if anyone could lend any knowledge, that would be great. Thanks, Mike.

Google for something like "keyboard sound software". There's B4 for Hammond sounds, I'm sure there are others that are more comprehensive.

Look up the Roland G8 or the previous X8, which can be had for a discount. More instruments and effects that you;ll use in your theatre's lifetime..!
