tweaking synth-piano

Hey there,

I'm mixing a singer-songwriter track that was recorded at another facility. The whole piece is voice, guitar, and piano. The voice and guitar sound great and were recorded well. The piano, however, was apparently played off of an inexpensive Yamaha synth and, well, it sounds like it. Unfortunately, the piano is also the dominant instrument in the song.

Midi interface keyboard/synth?

OK, I have an M-Audio midi interface that is like a keyboard. It hooks up through the USb port on my computer. What I am looking for now is software that will emulate a typical keyboard on the computer. I pretty much want to learn how to play piano with my midi controller. Is there a software out there I can use, or do I need to get some external device and use that?

Home Studio for Essentially Soft-Synth Only?

Hi,
Ive been dabbling for about a year with home recording on a budget, and it's time to get serious. I have:

P4 2.66 all purpose Dell 4550
1GB RAM (max supported)
80GB HD
Deta 66 (w/Omni box)
Yamaha P120 and Evo MK461c for midi control
DAW-worthless PC speakers (halfway decent consumer-level headphones)

What's the best voice synth/vocoder software for Windows?

Hello,

Is there software that will synthesize robotic voices like the Protoss, "Zealot" from the pc game, Star Craft and also the Decepticon, "Soundwave" from the animated series, The Transformers?

Do you know if they used software synths to do their voices, or hardware synths :?:
