not sure if this was ever brought up but here goes:
i take my laptop everywhere but i don't bring my midi controller keyboard. i had an idea and not sure if its at all feasible to turn the alpha numeric keyboard into a sort of rudimentary piano style keyboard. i am aware of the small keys on the side of the graphic editor window but thats no good for chords and such..
maybe some sort of mode you could toggle into that would enable certain keys to trigger notes. sort of like a polyphonic version of the keys on a 909 drum machine.
something to laydown ideas quickly.
