CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Aimed at computer musicians, this software turns a PC's keyboard into a piano-like MIDI keyboard, mapping letter keys onto notes. This allows a laptop composer to play keyboard-style music, which can be useful if no genuine keyboard is accessible. However, the program's features are sharply limited. Click MusicalKeys includes 128 MIDI instruments, mostly of fairly low quality. It does not allow users to choose another synthesizer for output, limiting its use with other, more advanced music programs. The recording function can play back single notes, but is buggy when chords are played. Nor does it recognize note duration, recording instead only the sequence of the notes. As a simple MIDI instrument for novice computer musicians, this program can be fun to experiment with. However, better programs for mapping a computer keyboard onto MIDI output are out there, and for an aspiring musician, this is certainly no substitute for an actual piano-style keyboard.Publisher's description

Version: Click MusicalKeys 3.21
"Excellent for every instrument"
Pros: It has 120 instruments available (especially lots of different variations of guitars) so it would be great for anyone wanting to know what specific instruments sound like or for pitch matching.
Cons: You download a ZIP file, there is a 1 setup file in the ZIP. So why isn't it just 1 setup file?

"Best Things In Life Are Free"
Pros: Since 1998, I have been wishing, I could play piano on my PC. I never knew how to find a program that could do it.
Thanks to download com and the maker of this fine program, I have found it.
Free? Yes. It is Free. Very hard to believe that a program as good as this is Free.
I tried to use all types of programs just to play some tunes on my PC, but they didnt work or they were for something esle. Finally I found the right and simple program to play piano on my PC and it also has a Record and RePlay feature.
Absolutely fantactic program. Music plays beautifully like a realy piano.
My many thanks to the creator of this wonderful program and for offering it Free.
I downloaded all the possible programs to try to play piano on my PC's keyboard. Only this one works, simple to Install and easy to use.
Perfect.

Version: Click MusicalKeys 3.21
Pros: You don't mind midi's, it is absoulotly wonderful. You can customize your favorite color and the download is fast.
Cons: However the customized color comes out a little crappy, the fact is to download a realistic type of piano isn't it? The download is fast for hi-speeders so you can test it out fast and uninstall it if your not happy with it. Like me :p The click is pretty much good if your into one key at a time, it gets tiring after awhile.
