there have been topics about it on the mailing-list concluding that pd needs another implementation of [key] object for playing note on and note off, [hid/keyup] can help to do this, like in examples proposed in here:

actually I got that quite easily sorted by storing the current value on a table and checking it before allowing new notes in (can send that at some point, it's very easy). What I meant was if there was a patch with a GUI that already has the interface prepared to look like it's ready to play some notes.

thanks. for some reason it wasn't yet what I'm looking for. for now I used funbuff to assign computer keys to midi values.

thanks. I ended up using funbuf to assign the keys to the midi pitches, and make a piano layout of the computer keyboard. but I'll keep these examples around, for the next time.

Maybe you would be interested about trying attached gpiano abstraction Tested on pd-l2ork, this should be working on pd-extended
