Hi why_bird,

I've looked all over for a linux (debian) alternative to a great mac osx tool called MidiStroke (http://www.charlie-roberts.com/midiStroke/). It gives an easy to use interface to map midi notes to any keystroke, combination of keystrokes or even keystroke sequences.

It should be a challenge to map midi events to keystrokes (the other way round of what is usually done where keystrokes are mapped to midi events to simmulate a music-keyboard)

Applications (to name just a few):
- Use a midi foot controller for recording (start, stop, record, rewind etc).
- use a midi footcontroller to select / start / stop songs for playback

The applications are endless, and it will remain current for long time. Midi will remain a standard in the music and controller neck of the woods.

Cheers,
Elias
