Can anyone recommend a list of MIDI control surfaces that feature 16
pots/sliders that will work with OLPC? (Of course I'm talking about realtime
Csound application.)

Are there any MIDI devices especially designed for the OLPC, or likely to be
available or encouraged (normative) for use?

I imagine that features such as low cost, rugged construction, wide
availability would be crucial. And I'm wondering if an instrumental keyboard
(in this case, plus pots/sliders) would be the preferred "format"?

I know that the arduino board works with the olpc which means you can 
build your own control surfaces. I guess you then have to go from the 
'processing' language to csound via OSC but it shouldn't be too tricky. 
One of my summer goals is to write an arduino opcode for Csound but I 
seem to be enjoying my holidays more than I thought and haven't yet had 
time to sit down to do it!

i'm really glad you're enjoying your summer holidays so much, i expect
to enjoy mine next january... but that arduino opcode for csound would
be very cool...

best,

My students at Berklee and I would all love an Arduino opcode.  Good  
luck with that Rory.
