Oh, and you'll want to get the MID2MUS util from this site. That is, if you want to do what I think you want to do. But I'm sure you already have that covered.

Now that's a triple post O_O

An 70 dollar Casio keyboard + a demo version of WinJammer. Done.

When I had access to a Win98 computer, I used Voyetra Digital Orchestrator Pro. It cost $100, though.

Word. When it comes to making music, hardware > software.

I use Record Producer Deluxe:

Used it for everything from my old DOOM 2 MIDI's, to my latest live guitar and MIDI combo music. Good stuff.

EDIT: I also have used anything from an old AWE32, AWE64, Turtle Beach, and now Sound Blaster Live! for hardware.

Did u need to buy the software,or did the demo allow recording?

Woah,i can edit midis with that program and save it.Thanks Dude :)

I think the demo is a 30 day type of thing.

But if all you want it MIDI and no digital audio, they have a record producer version that only does MIDI, and last I checked, it was like $20.

I've used this program for many many years, and it's by far the easiest I've ever used.

I use Cakewalk Home Studio (an old version, apparently for Windows 3.1 but works in Windows XP as well). I got it with a MIDI keyboard which I've stopped using. Newer versions of Cakewalk are available in stores and there are demo versions on the Cakewalk website. I use a SoundBlaster Audigy soundcard that works decently.
