I own a Korg SP-280 (OK med. $ range dig. piano) for learning piano on my own, but although it has PC hook-up abilities it has no real synth in it. My question is this: Is there a good synth.-type program on the current postings here in the group that I could use with my SP-280 and Windows 10 PC to have a go at my own compositions? Don't know much about key generators and such and of course I'd need a full manual with it too. SOOO much stuff is posted here: Is there anything you think might fit the bill??? TIA, Andrew

Well It's midi capable but not sure if it does that via usb or a midi
port - if it's usb you probably need a DAW (cakewalk bandcamp is now
free) & a suitable vst plugin like Kontak* with some of the sound
samples suitable for what u want to compose. or any of the vst synths
capable of doing what you want - there are gazillions but you might
find it more productive to start with soundbanks created by someone
else (k onta*t)
If it's just got a round midi out port, you'll need a midi to usb
converter - best to get a decent one rather than the 99c fleabay ones
