Question about Cubase SX?

[theCaptain]

First off, if you dont have it I strongly recommend getting it, it is incredible. I have a question, If I dont have a Midi keyboard or device, is it possible to record music simply using my computers keyboard and mouse as a midi device? If so how do I go about doing this?

You can program midi without a keyboard. If you've done any drum programming then you've done it already. If you create a new block of notes (can't think how else to describe it!) in a new midi channel you can edit the notes on a map with a pencil tool. Some soft synths also have a little keyboard at the bottom of their window. I'm also pretty sure you can use your mac's keyboard to trigger notes but I'm not sure how. Try doing a search on google or some music forums (macmusic.com, futureproducers.com), or there might even be something in the SX help. Hope that's useful.
