Virtual MIDI Keyboard
Sometime it's nice to not have to plug in a keyboard to play around with a softsynth, especially when you're writing one. So here's a little app you can use instead. It shows a little keyboard on screen, and you can use the computer keyboard to play MIDI notes. 'z' through ',' is the octave starting a middle C (note 60). The keys on the row above are flats, and the octave below is on the row starting with 'q' (and the digit row is that octave's flats).
