I have a six or seven year old midi keyboard, with a pitch bending wheel, in my father's house in TN, I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for, but certainly it might help... Also, on the Musicianship side of things, while you've got the pitch notation thing, you don't have a way to decide on KEY yet, so, depending on what note someone started on, what Pitch, and then what scale mode they're in (major key, minor key, sharp, flat) the songs could come out as complete discord, or at least very ElfmanEsque. Also, just as important as pitch, Rhythm. So far, for the length of a "held" note, you have spaces after the pitch key (aaa, is three short a notes, a is held, right?)I think that another system might be good, if only because the length of a space isn't standardized, nor the length of a note in this system. For that matter, you could hit the keys at any speed you wanted, and play the song as fast or syncopated as you wished... so maybe it's good?? Argh, randomized thoughts now.
