MOTM

I just wrote a quick midi translator for my PSIM that takes the
keyboard and bass pedal data stream and transposes it based on
the setting of the pitch bend wheel.

If the pitch bend goes negative, it sets the mode to normal.
If the pitch bend goes positive, it reverses the keyboard (e.g.
lows become highs and highs become lows).

It's pretty simple but some of the sounds are pretty interesting.
Since I play by 'feel' and not sound, I can still play a number
of songs but they come out completely different but in tune with
itself.  Oh, the fun of a Sunday with spare time and a couple of
midi processors ...

As for the feet, I just program up the keys to play a preset
pattern.  One of the modes is a 'one shot' where a tap on the key
will play a single sequence of notes.  I'm finding that with the
keys reversed, I'm getting nice little fill ins.
