Trigger keystrokes using MIDI

MidiStroke allows you to trigger keystrokes in the currently focused application using MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) note, program and CC messages. Each MIDI message can trigger an unlimited number of keystrokes in sequence. This is of enormous value for performing electronic musicians, but can also be used to automate everyday tasks through the use of MIDI footpedals, keyboards and control surfaces.

MidiStroke 1.1 adds the ability to use any midi keyboard as a full blown computer keyboard replacement. Look in the Preferences to assign notes to simulate the Shift, Option, Control and Command keys. When you press a note, the keypress is simulated. When you release it, the keyrelease is triggered. Version 1.1 also adds the number pad keys for triggering.

This is awesome! I love it. I plan to use MaxMSP to map my dual-joystick gamepad (which by the way has a FAN to keep your hands cool hahaha - my friend got 10 of them for 99 cents) to MIDI and then use this little app to convert the MIDI into key-commands to control Logic. I know that logic already has MIDI control for many things, but for transport functions (pause/play etc) i find it very flaky and and crash-causing... anyway - might be a bit of a hack, but a wikkid cheap and fun hardware controller for Logic! Now if they only made game controllers with lots of faders...
What this app could use is savable/recallable configurations and maybe the ability to remember the MIDI input setting. But awesome job. I'm sure there will be many uses for this.
