I just went through the features list, and if this is for beginners, I don't want the pro stuff.

Personally, I use a modest PC or laptop running FL Studio (great product!) and that way I can make those keys sound like whatever I'm feeling that day.
I'm sure there are MIDI synthesizers these days that take USB in but they're too newschool for me. I'm used to 5 pin dins on real hardware.

Well, that sounds like something to check.

+1 on FL Studio.
One cool thing about FL Studio is that all the updates are free once you buy it.
(I didn't update/check recently, is is still the case ? )
I'd rather be phishing!

Yes indeed.

Quick question...how's the latency? I've tried UVI Workstation but the latency was noticeable enough that I gave up on it.

It depends on your hardware, but I use FL Studio with ASIO and that gives me a latency of about 6ms.

Here is a sampling of the MIDI modules that are available : Sound Modules | Guitar Center[^]. There is a wide variety in most of the price spectrum. I had a Yamaha model years ago and it was rather nice. It was essentially a DX-7 FM synthesizer in a tiny box. Today there is much wider variety.
Don't know anything about Bluetooth for this application.
I doubt your electric piano has external sound inputs. If it does but it's unlikely to be particularly useful. Usually people get a small mixer with about four inputs.
Laptops are a viable option. There are a good number of synthesizer modules available. You can get practically an entire recording studio for a computer if you want to go that route. Macs are a much more prevalent platform for those applications but there are some for PCs also.
I can't give you any good recommendations because I have leaned away from keyboards the last several years and more towards stringed instruments.

I had previously vowed to never use Python in protest of its use of significant whitespace.
However, I've been seduced by microprogramming projects using ESP8266 chips on which Micropython is a major player. LUA is my other option but comes with disadvantages.
I may have to learn one of them and the allure of micropython is WebREPL which leads me to believe I can create a little dynamic webserver on about $10 worth of components drawing modest usb power.
It's not so much the webserver part that's interesting but these devices are so cheap and easy to program against and wire things into you can automate most of your home with them if you're inclined. They're magic, and they all speak WiFi.
If I can run python on an $8 chip that I can slave an arduino mega 2560 to I will rule the world (or at least the gadgets in my home) for about $15. Woo!
This is fun.
Python tho. Seriously. Python.

Resist. Do not let yourself be drawn to the dark side.

I was actually into building simple circuits before I ever started programming. This combines the two, it's just I never really had a reason to do it before, but now with WiFi being so ... cheap and readily connectible to dumb 8 bit hardware how can i not be thrilled by this? The possibilities are endless. Most of them involve clever ways to use AI to harass my cats, but still.

Careful that you don't alienate your familiar!
I have very little hardware sense, to the point where I'd relate to it in terms of how it would be done in software.
