Its not possible in MODPlug Tracker.

Modplug only understands keypresses, not the more advanced midi messages like modulator value and such.

But then again, MODPlug Tracker wasn't designed to be an instrument. Its a program to control instruments themselves from the pattern editor. There you can control filters and stuff like that, but not while live playing.

Thanks man, and with VSTi's you can use the keyboard as a instrument?

The keyboard only acts as an input device. If you load in a VSTi, you can play its tones.

Some VSTi's however allow a stand alone interface, and usually they DO allow extended midi messages like modulator wheel.

For instance, take Native Instrument's Plugins. Like Absynth, FM7, Kontakt, Pro-52, etc... They all have a stand-alone interface with full support for your midi keyboard.

(not to mention they cost money :()
