If you mean MIDI to Audio? I'm sure it would have enough grunt to run
Timidity of fluidsynth (the latter is faster in my experience).

If that can be done...

Apparently the pi plays well with MIDI.

OK. I have an USB keyboard at home - I'll bring it along on Saturday
and swap it for the Microsoft keyboard.
Can bring your Pi on Saturday for testing purposes?

I'll agree; if I want something cheap and nasty I usually go to Ebay,
because if it's listed it will be in stock.

I've, been using the clear cased multi colour led one, seems to work, have
attempted to power the pi from it but the keyboard "stutters" like a key is
held down, apparently caused by power issues, it also back feeds power up
the USB host cable, preventing the pi from fully powering off.

I have just been using my phone charger but I'm keen to find a
more permanent method.

Surely, given every new phone comes with one these days there must be some
we can get cheaply.

Only not the totally cheap ones. My 500A charger that's fine for my phone
won't allow the pi to power a keyboard properly - or is that a pi power
issue.

Oh really?

Actually, just checked my charger and it's a 1.0A (I assume yours is 500mA,
not 500A, hehe) so maybe that makes the difference re powering peripherals?

Also, the Element14 R-Pi page recommends a
1.0A<http://au.element14.com/avico/smp1/power-supply-usb-5v-1a-aunz/dp/211...>or
1.2A<http://au.element14.com/ideal-power/25hk-u-050a120-cp-usba-dh/power-s...>power
pack. I might just grab one of these eventually - though I think $20
is a bit much to pay.

I'm looking at trying one of these :
http://dicksmith.com.au/product/S4081/fujicell-multi-purpose-battery-...

<http://dicksmith.com.au/product/S4081/fujicell-multi-purpose-battery-...>The
wall-wart part says it can put out 800mA which should be enough for the Pi
I'm using as Media centre - no USB devices, just Ethernet and HDMI.

It's only $10, worth a punt, and if it doesn't work, there are 1 Amp USB
supplies available on fleabay.

700mA is a bare minimum really, 1A recommended at least. I'm using a Cygnet
phone charger from Harvey Norman, $12 or so and it's 2A. Rock solid.
