Well, it seems I should give a try to Supercollider in the near future :). I
only ahve experimented with Pd and CLAM.
About HID2USB I know also this project:

mmm... Really good news that ttymidi. Maybe with this I could have one
keyboard as a keyboard itself and another acting as a MIDI keyboard in such
a way that I can play on this last one right at the strong beat (really hard
when you are alt+tab-ing all the time) and trigger to record a loop with a
key on the other, i.e. on Freewheeling.

I'm really interested on that control-guitar thing, so please keep me
informed about. Maybe I could help in some way.

Yes :)
I really appreciate your info.
