Music creation without MIDI keyboard?

Jan 5, 2006 10:25AM PST

I want to create music with my PC, but I don't have a MIDI keyboard or the money for one. Is there any software that will let me input music without buying extra hardware?

Fruity Loops is definitely a possibility and also check out Sony's Acid Music Studio or Acid XMC which are very inexpensive too. Download the demos and see if you like them.
