How to capture MIDI played on a Yamaha keyboard?

Question

I just bought a Yamaha YPG-235 keyboard, Windows 7 doesn't seem to come with a tool like Garage Band for the Mac.

Is there free software that allows me to capture what I played?

Answer 1

Reaper ( http://www.reaper.fm/ ) is a shareware Digital Audio Workstation package, which is not crippled while testing.

Answer 2

Sony's Acid xPress is free. :)

ACID Xpress is a free, 10-track version of ACID software for music recording, editing and mixing. It's easy to use, even if you've never tried loop-based music creation before. Just pick some loops, paint them into a track and play them back. Any loops you choose work together because ACID Xpress matches the tempo and pitch automatically. When you're ready, publish your song to ACIDplanet.com

Includes In-line MIDI editing. I've played with Acid Pro for years, it's MIDI capabilities are pretty nice. :)
