midi keyboard

[GLneo]

I got a midi keyboard for xmas and it hooks to the comp through USB and I have the drivers setup correctly and I can verify there is input though the windows midi device, but I have yet to find a program that simply turns the midi input into sound, so far the software it came with is far to complex for my needs ( live 6 ) and all other programs record the midi input and do crazy things. So i was just wondering if any of you know of a simple program that I can just select an instrument and start playing?

thx!

If you're in to pipe organs there is aeolus.

thats probably exactly what I want, only for windows ( and maybe with a piano )

I use the midi orchestrator for all those things. However, its commercial and dated to windows 95. It still works though

I got it with my Soundblaster 64 card back then

i still cant believe there is no program that simply takes input from the windows midi in and sends it right to the default windows midi out

Orchestrator does it

Why not write your own?

Orchestrator is "commercial and dated to windows 95"

I have thought of writing my own, but when I started looking in to the windows midi specification in c and i got scared , and I keep looking for a program and found 100+ programs but all are far far to complicated or are really stupid and hard to use, so i presume it is really easy to write midi programs in "VisualBacon++6.0.net for vista TM", unfortunately i don't want to learn a silly language

the search continues

visual basic is the easiest "language" to learn, but it wouldnt be too hard to do in in C i imagine...
