hi list, things which are not really necessary... but if you ever were looking for a way to play keyboard with your computer-keyboard (or mouse) you should have a look at ftp://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/pdpatches/ or http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/Pd/pdpatches/ there is a "keyboard_de" (with german keyboard-layout) which produces midinotes from computer-keyboard - even mouse. maybe someone can help me with the english version for that. marius.
