Me not knowing any better back then bought a 25-key axiom keyboard. Now I cant play chords because its to small or I believe it is. Can Someone help me out, with playing techniques and such.

Just record and shift in the pianoroll or
use shift the octave on the keyboard.
Whatever you do you will have to edit it in the pianoroll
 
just use leading tones. you do have 2 octave available at a time.
 
Yeah, 25 keys is fine for playing chords that is what I use, you can record any piano part, just do it one hand at a time, and shift the octave up or down as needed
 
Very Carefully... LOL


But really, just keep doing the whole "one hand at a time" thing. It will work out fine..
 
You a jazz musician? 25 keys and you can't play the chord you want? :cool:

Maybe I read it wrong.
 
I feel you on that. I only have a 25 note keyboard (stupidly sold all my 61 note keyboards last summer) and it is hard to play piano parts. I'm actually avoiding any piano parts that are more complicated that simple major/minor triads, however, you can record each hand separately. If you are a trained pianist, I'd definitely recommend getting a bigger keyboard though. That's what I plan to do in a couple of weeks.
 
I understand where you're coming from on this one, but it is very easy to play chords on a 25 key keyboard - like someone said a chord is 3 notes or more. The thing that is hard is when you want to go higher or lower while playing a melody and you run out of room. F*** hitting transpose haha
