Ok, each to his own. Most people will prefer "real" music keyboards, because they are laid out to make music. A computer keyboard is originally made to type text... But in the end, it's the result that counts, not the means. To answer your question it should exist, if Fruity managed to implement a "computer keyboard plays notes" feature, it surely must be doable in another environment. I haven't looked for it though, so I'm not aware of any external convertor plugin that can do that for you.

But one thing you have to understand. Dj'ing usually involves playing premade tunes (wether they are your own or other people's tracks, I won't discuss), while producing means making tracks. And it's mainly in that second category that your subject belongs (using Fruity, music hardware like sequencers, synths,...).

A long explanation to basically say : you might get more response if you post this in the Production forum. Not all dj's make music, so there will be a couple of people that will smile and nod...

press ctrl-t and tadaa

Yes it's possible.
Just go options and select 'Typing keyboard to piano' or Ctrl-T.

ZXCV etc are white keys and ASDF are black keys and then you get another octave with a similar principle with QWER and so on.

Cheers
