I know, I did that with chuck. My main issue is that I have no visual 
feedback. I assigned track on/off to qwerty... but have a hard time 
remembering what track is on "q" in this particular tune. Also I cannot 
see if track "q" is running or not.

But I just got an idea: Would it be possible to do keyboard -> pd -> 
chuck. Keyboard could be both laptop keyboard and midi keyboard, pd -> 
chuck could be via osc. PD could (maybe) provide visual feedback and 
either be controlled directly with mouse or be a slave interface 
replicating what-ever comes in from keyboard or midi. Would that be 
possible?

Maybe you're right.
