wow sounds cool.
i was comparing laptop musicians who for example playback sounds and tweak
as they are playing back ... but your playing of the computer keyboard would
be comparable to playing an instrument like a piano type keyboard and i
would qualify it as a way that the computer can be an instrument. (just like
the computer can be a sound module/use sound fonts that one could trigger on
a keyboard through midi. its the opposite of this that i was arguing
against.)
