Using Computer Keyboard as MIDI Controller

My Pro Tools software came with XPand! 2, which has a ton of samples, but I don't have (or can afford) a MIDI controller to access them. I want to use my computer keyboard as the controller. Someone recommended I used LoobBe and Bomes, but Bomes is PC only and I'm on a Mac. I found one program called MidiStroke. It seems like what I need, but I can't figure out how to use it; I'm super inexperienced with MIDI. If MidiStroke is something I need, how do I set it up? Do I have to use another program in conjunction with it? I want to use this in a Pro Tools session. Like how there's the "Musical Typing" option in Garageband that lets you start a VI track and use the keyboard to control it (all while in the DAW).

Thanks,
-Adam
