Re: [LAU] Some thoughts on making electronic music

Simon, a good friend of mine uses Blender professionally, and he's
lauded the virtues of the clever Blender workflow more than once.

I'd also add that quite a few of my fellow orchestral colleagues use a
second midi keyboard, as do i, as a control/keystroke device. Having
the ability to assign CC midi as keystroke action is a real added
bonus. I've only seen this once in a Linux Audio related app, and that
was Livemix. (Please correct me if there are others, that i haven't
encountered, or been unaware of this capability within existing apps)
