Is it possible to use a physical keyboard for performance mode?
Can you link a physical midi keyboard to performance mode in an instrument? I never use perform mode because you only have 8 note buttons and have to tilt the controller for different octaves. Also, do people use perform mode very often anyway?

You cannot plug a MIDI keyboard into the PlayStation. You can use a MIDI keyboard on a PC/Mac with the MIDI2OSC software to send it over wifi to Dreams. Or you can use a normal typing keyboard with the PlayStation which will activate notes when in performance mode.
To be clear, there are 8 buttons for notes. They play notes within a selected key and scale. You can hold R1 to change that key and scale. So this is great for newcomers who don't know music theory, or just want to play around and not sound terrible, or lay down a starting point to edit later (that's how I tend to work).
And in case you didn't know, you can click "piano roll" in the top-right of that window to use a normal piano roll to add notes etc.

@Tapgiles Me saying there are six notes was a careless mistake, I know there are eight lol. Anyway, if I use a normal typing keyboard, does that allow more than eight notes in performance mode? I could more easily play what I want live, rather than place the notes in piano roll.
Thanks for your help by the way!

No worries ;P
Yes, using a typing keyboard isn't bound to the key/scale. You just play whatever notes you like. You have 2 rows of a music keyboard essentially. Something like:
CDEFG --notes
ZXCVB --keys
Next row up are black keys (some are missing obviously):
C#D#-- F#G#A#
S D -- G H J
Then the next row up is a couple of octaves higher, with the same layout, with QWERTY being white keys and 12345 being black keys.
(Note, I have no idea if those are the actual notes, or those notes actually make any sense, but hopefully you get the idea.)
