Just as clarification, the Ableton Live software is inaccessible. That
M-Audio keyboard will be useful to you for triggering soft synthes in
software like SONAR or even something as basic as the Microsoft Wavetable
(Wave Table). But, unless it is connected to a PC running music software,
it can make no sounds of its own.

Subject: [ddots-l] question on m-audio 88 key E.S. controller
Hi everyone,
This is my first post to this list.
I recently received Key station m-audio 88 E.S. controller keyboard for
early Christmas with Ableton Live software in which I was told by Bill
McCann of Dancing Dots that it is quite inaccessible. Does anyone know what
this means? Dancing Dots recently evaluated the software that came with the
keyboard and recommended some work around for the problem I am having in
terms of accessibility. I am wondering if there are any users out there who
are using either netbook, laptop or desktop that can describe how I can set
up this keyboard?
I am using Windows XP with JAWS 11 AND DO NOT HAVE ANY ACCESSIBLE MIDI
SEQUENCING SOFTWARE TO TEST WITH THIS KEYBOARD. I am planning to obtain
cakewalk for Sonar and CakeTalking so that I can gain full accessibility of
this keyboard.
I hope I didn't make a mistake by getting this keyboard.
My friend of mine purchased it online from Musiciansfriend.com and paid
around $200.00 for this keyboard. I don't have a second sound card and was
recommended by Dancing Dots to get an external USB sound card for the midi
keyboard.
I hope someone can unravel this mystery for me.
I don't know much about this technology but will need to learn it.
It's been over 20 years since I last had a piano and I felt this is an ideal
opportunity to get something that was portable and easy to store when not in
use.
I still have yet to get a stand and a bench so that I can set up everything
right.
This is a full-size keyboard in which I grew up on an upright piano during
my younger days.
I am currently a braille proofreader and have an NLS Literary certification
in Braille Transcription and hope to own GoodFeel Braille translator to
transcribe print music into braille. I already own a copy of Duxbury for
other translating projects.
I have recently ordered some tutorials from Dancing Dots to refresh my
skills in reading braille music and some beginning piano instruction in
braille.
This will be a challenge for me.
This is almost like doing audio production.
