I know absolutely nothing about music, but I find this to be really interesting! It makes we wonder what whackier ways exist yet.

I've always wondered if its possible to use a standard computer keyboard for this sort of thing. What are the main reasons that this wouldn't be possible or likely?

It's possible but it kind of sucks. On most computer keyboards there are limitations as to which keys can be held down simultaneously (and how many), and the keys are on/off - there's no pressure detection. Also, computer keyboards are pretty small - you can't fit many notes on at all - and the keys are not arranged regularly.

It is possible with VMPK, and some people have shown they can play great music on it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhfSF_RpxjI) but I don't know how hard it is to get to a stage where we can be productive. It would be helpful if you have an NKRO keyboard.
