Partly encouraged by this thread and something satobox did, Duplex will soon see a sample-triggering component.
All along, I have been telling people this:
“You can always connect your MIDI keyboard” … To answer this myself: well, yes, if you have one. And most iPad apps are OSC, not MIDI-based.
But the real stumbling block I saw as the precision issue. My conceptions are primarily based around how the note-router got deprecated (cancelled). Try reading this discussion for some insights into the realtime methods, and intricacies of note triggering:

Initial tests indicate that response time is good, so once everything is settled, I will offer the keyboard / sample triggering component: it will be flexible as far as mappings go, able to emulate a traditional keyboard as well as individual buttons.
I have no idea how well it will integrate with Osculator, as I am a TouchOSC user myself. But in my setup, it works fine.
