Hey there all. Just wondering. Want to teach keyboard parts to my wife, using a large keyboard gui that reflects played notes in real-time during a DAW sequenced song (captured via Camtasia). Have enjoyed the GUI that's part of the Blue3 organ (which you can blow up to 200%) but is there anything better (as the black keys don't 'show up' as well when played)?

Please and thanks in advance!

Free
Great Sound
and full feedback
-downside "small" gui (in compare to some other plugs I know)
but
Maybe playing with the resolution of your monitor 1024*768 makes everything big
Or magnifying glass tool https://www.windowscentral.com/how-use-magnifier-windows-10

(free scale up too 400%+ and got a midi through )

Assuming you would export just the relevant midi from your DAW,
(which I know might not be exactly what you're looking for)
you can then play the exported midi file using this free software
http://midisheetmusic.com/features.html
http://midisheetmusic.com/download.html

It includes a large(ish) 7 octave keyboard. e.g., if screen res is 1600 pixels wide, the keyboard is about 1400 pixels wide.

You might find yourself not bothering with the camtasia video because the midisheetmusic player is so convenient
and may offer more value as a tutorial device.

• It's portable (no installation required)
• It allows easy transposition to other keys
• It provides easy tempo changes, etc
• Play sections in a loop
  
• Has some nice basic display features, e.g., set shading colours for left hand, right hand.
• All the stuff you'd expect from a simple dedicated midi player.
• and (maybe not relevant in this case) but it does also display the midi as traditional music score.
