Yes, certainly. But tell us more what you have in mind.
 
I assume your keyboard would be a MIDI controller, correct?
 
An obvious choice would be a MIDI foot controller input through the keyboard, or a MIDI footswitch in conjunction with a foot controller or a portamento pedal.
 
If you need specific pitches from the pedal(s) - even from a standalone portamento pedal, Csound could "round" the pedal to the nearest pitch, or indeed add a rounded percentage to the current keyboard pitch.
 
There are many possibilities.

Subject: [Csnd] different pitches during a live-midi performance

Dear community,
I want to know, if it could be possible, to get different pitches for e.g. fis and ges during a live-midi performance.
What I desire, is to influence the pitch by a controller, e.g. the left piano-pedal.
I'm not speaking of pitch-bending, I really mean an exact, clearly regognizable pitch, when You press a key with od without this controller.
Is it possible?

Dear Art,
thanks for Your answer. I have attached a small example to this mail.
I use there a scale with 17 pitches per octave but (as You all know)I do have only 12 pitches per octave on the keyboard.
I would like to allocate the black key two pitches and I would like to change this with the pressure of the una-corda-pedal (the left pedal). While pressing the left pedal down, I would like to get a lower pitch, in the other case, the higher pitch.
But I have no idea, how to do it with csound. So, I really need Your help!
At least I hope, that my idea of negotiating the limitation of 12 pitches per octave in this way will be interesting for other musicians to.
Thanks
Stefan
