Piano And Keyboards

Post your piano/keys stuff here. Ripping some Chopin, Beethoven, Bartok, or whoever? Love it. Just got a new Hammond and rotary speaker and want to show it off? Can't get enough of it. Got a band with a really awesome keyboardist, and want to show them off? Gimme it. Stuck in the orchestra pit with nothing to do for three hours waiting for your one moment of celesta glory on The Magic Flute? I feel your pain. Just discovered Oscar Peterson and want to share your astonishment? Fam, same. Learning piano and got noob questions? I'm here for it. Got an original DX7 and want to show us all how to program new voices? I've actually never figured that out, can you teach me too?

Rules:

  1. Don't be a jerk.
  2. Self-promotion is encouraged, but try to also post stuff that isn't you.
  3. Be cool about giving and receiving feedback. When in doubt, see r1.
  4. Having fun is mandatory.

I used to play piano when I was a kid and I want to get back into it now that I'm older. I think I have more patience for it now, but I don't have room for a large keyboard. I'm thinking of a small midi keyboard like a oxygen pro mini or mpk mini plus. Do they need to be plugged into a computer to work or can I just connect headphones to them directly? I know these are stupid questions, I'm sortof new at all this. If they have to be connected to a computer, are they compatible with linux, are there any good linux apps to use with them? I don't mind small keys, and I do prefer nice key feel over more midi features. I'm probably not gonna record anything.

Lemme know if this is the wrong place to ask this.

Thanks.
