Hello
I would like to use my LPK 25 MIDI piano as a keyboard key, I would like to know if it is possible and if so, which software to use.
Thank you.

    Well, first you need a MIDI/USB interface; after that, I'm not sure if there is software to use the data as keyboard commands; but it should be doable.

    Could you guide me?
    I am not familiar with this kind of thing.

    Because your piano has keys with letters of the alphabet, punctuation marks, numbers ...

    So how do you imagine pressing a piano note and getting a letter on your computer screen? I really don't understand your request!

      By linking the notes to the letters, a do will make an A, a re a B, etc. Not very practical, but as a proof of concept, it could be fun. Or it could be used to manage shortcuts for certain actions.

      It seems possible with this kind of software: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/midikey2key-translates-midi-events-to-key-shortcuts.590/

        It took me 3/4 of a search to find the keywords:

        MIDI to keystroke
