the handsonic sends different note numbers for
each pad, all on the
same channel. the channel is generally channel 10, though it depends
which program you are using.
To illustrate this, if I use a Linux sequencer such as MuSE, it will
receive note data on channel 10. So everything I tap on the Handsonic
will be sequenced by MuSE. But how about if I do not use the Handsonic
built-in sounds ? Is it possible for the Linux PC to generate 5
different sounds for this channel, for MuSE to know which note (MIDI
event) belongs to which sound, and then to actually playback the MIDI
events on channel 10 with all the different sounds ?
You can also connect it to a certain drum synth.... ;)
