[Rwp] starting the final year of my music degree, need an accessible system to compose using midi. Tips and suggestions most welcome!

[Ken Downey]

For MIDI, I use QWS for most things. There are few things I can't do with 
QWS, b ut I've been working with Reaper lately just in case. I recently 
modified the default keymap and gave it some midi related commands, mostly 
involving step recording.
