Does this require the Deep Composer keyboard? Or does it work with any MIDI keyboard?

Would be silly if you had to buy the AWS keyboard considering a lot of people who'd use this would already have a MIDI keyboard.

I kinda want the AWS keyboard just because I think it's funny.

Ya, could definitely see that being a cool vintage item in the future.

It would be also better if it will work in the future. Instead of becoming useless when amazon shuts the servers.

If this AWS keyboard can be used just as a simple midi input controller, it is already pretty good value in my book, regardless of all the "smart" features.

seems to require a connection to an AWS account, and even then, it doesn't seem to work

It doesn’t require the physical keyboard. The AWS console has a virtual keyboard, that should work for developers who want to learn about GAN but a musician will get the best experience with a physical keyboard. It should work with other MIDI controllers though only the AWS keyboard is officially supported
