Why cant you search? How hard is it to search?

If you want to use bass sounds mapped out all over your keys read below and learn what multisampling is.

search terms:autochromatic, midi keyboard, multisamples, basslines.....

Definitions of MIDI Controller on the Web:

* A device which outputs MIDI data. Controllers may be either instrument controllers (ie keyboard, drum, guitar, or wind controllers) or real-time controllers. Real-time controllers are either continuous controllers (wheels, joysticks, sliders, footpedals, breath controllers, etc.) or switch controllers (footswitches or other on-off devices). Two special kinds of continuous controllers are pitch bend (usually a wheel or joystick) and after touch (channel pressure).

* A device, real or virtual, which generates and transmits MIDI data for operating musical devices or other devices which are electronically enabled for MIDI operation. Such devices generally can be further subdivided into: *Musical instruments: MIDI keyboards, MIDI wind instruments, MIDI guitars, drum machines, MIDI violins, etc., which are used to perform music in real time or to play back pre-arranged music via MIDI.
