Re: trigger a keyboard press with midi

[Per Boysen <perboysen@gmail.com>]

Check out Bidule. I remember once reading in the Bidule manual about a
function that converts between MIDI and computer key press, or the
other way around, or both... I'm afraid I can't recall the details.

Also, have you thought about adding and extra USB connected computer
keyboard to use as foot pedal for your non-MIDI percussion
application? I've seen players use computer keyboards as foot
pedalboards by gluing chunks of styrofoam on the hot keys and maybe
take off the keys not to be used.
