Description:
C: >-
<p>
Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and
receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by itself, but can be used
to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software,
internal or external). You can use the computer's keyboard to
play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI
Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another
instrument or MIDI file player.
