just to get started

Hi, recently got a new PC and Im finally going to start slowly and ask questions as I go.

At the moment all I have is an old keyboard with midi in/out. I will connect this with a midi adapter via joystick port for now (audiophile 24/96 later).

I want to use the keyboard for midi data input only, and then use software to render this to "sounds". If im not as confused as I think I am, I need a soft synth? Just to clarify, I play the keyboard, the software records midi data (no sound), then I can assign a sound and create wav file?

If I go this right, what software can I experiment with, I will download demo's and try out. It will probably need to have a sequencer also as I have some drumbeat wav's that I created with Leafdrums that I would like to throw in the mix.

I beleive your going to need a host sequencer application to run the software synth in, like Cubase. But you may want to still check this out:

You should get that 24/96 card sooner. Hope this helps.
