ok, so I won't get note on/off from it... but do I have any chance of
getting whatever it generates (letters, numbers) from the midi input of
my soundcard? could I code something or use something like puredata or
supercollider for achieving this?

If it were possible I would greatly prefer it to a usb keyboard, given
that I allready have plugged in my laptop an arduino, a joystick and the
soundcard

thanks all for the replies
