To illustrate this, if I use a Linux sequencer such as MuSE, it will receive note data on channel 10. So everything I tap on the Handsonic will be sequenced by MuSE. But how about if I do not use the Handsonic built-in sounds ? Is it possible for the Linux PC to generate 5 different sounds for this channel, for MuSE to know which note (MIDI event) belongs to which sound, and then to actually playback the MIDI events on channel 10 with all the different sounds ? The Kat controllers looks quite interesting. The videos all have people playing it with drumsticks. Do you know if it is possible to play it with hands ? Cheers, Al
