as a 21-year-old person who can spontaneously and unexpectedly imagine original songs in one's head - from a Western standpoint: melodies, harmonies, bass, rhythms, etc. - but cannot play a chordal instrument, what should i do? spend a decade trying to "play catch-up," mess around with a chordal instrument as a hobby, or just stick to virtual instruments?
to play a 'virtual instrument', i'm almost certain you'll need to use some kind of piano keyboard to operate the instrument. so you might as well choose that one, because it is a gateway to all the instruments inside the computer, and also a chordal instrument itself
