A nice feature in Reaktor Session is the ability to play a patch using
the standard keyboard. z-? provide an octave with a few keys in the next
row up (s,d,f,h,j, etc.) providing sharps.
Does no Linux soft synth provide some capability like this?
I think it would be a nice little app for someone to provide a simple
MIDI keyboard emulator using the qwerty keybaord. (Or is this what
virmidi does? I've never used it.)
Cheers,
Mark
