 Re: Piano and midi - which keyboard to use?
MIDI controllers tend to offer more features for your money than a dedicated digital piano, but if you need to play live with others (ie, without your computer rig), then buying an electric piano with MIDI output is a fine choice. Most people want more flexibility than this though - pitch bend and mod wheels are standard on most controller keyboards. In addition, many have assignable sliders and knobs for added controllability of your sounds. If you only use a piano sound, this is not needed.
A computer based sampler will offer much higher quality sounds than available in a keyboard. They have tons more memory and storage capacity.
