A while ago I bought a midi piano. I'm having a lot of fun with it and it really helps me to train my hands for playing guitar (my main instrument). However, I can't seem to find proper software for it... I have used a lot of software, but I can't find a simple software solution that is starts fast, has some sound banks etc...

What would you people consider the best software for midi controllers (piano in my case)?

What exactly are you trying to do with the software and midi? Are you looking for a program that has built in sound banks to record with, or just play music? –  MrTheBard Mar 19 at 14:47
I only want to play music. For recording, I use ProTools, but that is way too complicated for just playing a bit of piano. Also my iLok broke :(. –  Valentin Grégoire Mar 19 at 14:52

Are there free alternatives? I basically just need a piano sound for practice. I don't need any fancy organ sounds or whatever. Thanks for the tips, I will look into the suggested software for my recording purposes later on! –  Valentin Grégoire Mar 20 at 13:18
