well you would have to record the sample somewhere onto your computer first and save it as a 16 bit wav file... use goldwave... or cool edit pro to do this... http://www.goldwave.com

as far as the keyboard goes...you need a sound card... just plug it into your computer and FL will recognize the hardware... if you lack a soundcard you can purchase a USB to MIDI controller... it does the same thing...
