f prepared the following comment as an idea that would make KbMaestro more valuable for musicians.

q: And the text is?

KeyboardMaestroMidiCommandInterface.

Hello, dear Adam Courtemanche,

thank you for your contribution.

What about having an extended TimeKeeper, completely written in KbMaestro, that takes as input source a MidiKeyboard and produces a sequence of OnOffNoteEvents, shown in the ExtendedTimeKeeperWindow:

On/Off, MidiNumber, Volume, Time. 

........................................................... 

Such a KbMaestroMidiMonitor would allow making KbMaestro into a valuable CmdInterface increasing the user value KbMaestro.

At moment we can use something similar with KbHotstrings. Unfortunately, those HotStrings produce a StringOutput, restricting the hotkeys to text input (otherwise those emitted chars could produce side effects in other

contexts than TextInputFields).

Using a MidiKeyboard, you can use it e.g. as a mnemonic InputCommandInterface.

E.g. Map the Alphabet to the following KeyboardKeys

c2=c, c2#=i, d2=d, d2#=s, e2=e, f2=f, f2#=j, g2=g, g2#=k, a2=a, a2#=b2 (in German for h flat), h2=h, c3=l, c3#=m, d3=n, d3#=o, e3=p, f3=q, f#=r, g3=s ( the map doesn't need to be injective) ,

g3#=t, a3=u, a3#=v, b3=w, c3=x, c3#=y, d3=z

If the volume is about a threshold, then make the letter an uppercase, else lowercase.

 Let be

 lastDifference = the time difference between On and Off of the last note 
 
 timeThreshold = time threshold 

 accumulatedString = string of accumulated notes

 Save accumulatedString in a variable newString.

If delta < lastDifference {
 <take accumulated String as command>  

}
