If you are on Windows, midiox (free at midiox.com) includes a handy ASCII
keyboard mapping capability. The default map is quite useful; making your
own is not too difficult. I've done several in order to drive my real-time
MIDI pieces from the ASCII keyboard.

It's mostly useful as note (event) triggers; but there are a couple of
builtin possibilities for quasi-sliders.

to be coded?


Hi Robson,

Sorry, I have no plans to do any user customizable keysettings.  One
can always do a sort of mapping in Csound code if necessary, and the
support for that kind of mapping is more than work than I am
interested to invest in this.  If someone else would want to implement
such a thing for the virtual keyboard though, that's totally fine with
me.
