MessageCool. thanks. I'll take a look at it when I have the time. I'm trying to 
get about 20 christmas carols written in time for the holidays, and if each one 
takes me about 4 hours ... <smiles>

  Sarah:
  If you get Sonar, you can use the included GM software synth which has a 
respectable pallet of instrument sounds including drums.  We didn't really talk 
about entering drum notation in sibelius while  was there, but basically, each 
note on your midi keyboard corresponds to a specific drum and you play them in 
just like regular notes.  Many of us record very complex drum parts this way, 
either one at a time or all at once.

      Hi,

      You may be able to find keyboards which have USB connections. The Yamaha 
DGX series is an example of one such keyboard.

        Hello. I am looking \ to buying a midi keyboard that I can also use for 
recording in to a sound recorder like audacity or something. I don't have a 
midi port on my laptop. Any suggestions? I want this to work with sebilius as 
well and also a midi sequencer like qws. Thanks.

        Sarah
