>>>>...I have a Yamaha Clavinova connected to my laptop-a really cool setup, thanks to the help of a good friend....>>>>

I have a Yamaha DGX 305. Pretty basic, but with some features I like. I have an old laptop running Win 98. It sits on the Yamaha. It wont do most of the latest programs, but it runs many of the PG music just fine. I have an old version of BiaB, some of the piano master classes and some of the performance programs like "The New Age Pianist."

These programs use a decades-old protocol called MIDI. MIDI is the language in which BiaB (and other programs) send instructions to the keyboard. It makes very low demands on the computer, so this combination of computer and keyboard works great.
