Trigger Patterns From Midi-in

Ideas & suggestions
1

Basically, the idea is simple:

Assign MIDI-IN-signals to trigger patterns. Example of how this would work: I press a C-4 key on the USB MIDI keyboard, which then triggers a pattern to play.

Possibilities of assigning multiple keys: If I press C-4, E-4, G-4 together – the assigned pattern is playing major C and if I press C-4, D#4, G-4 together the triggered pattern is playing a sequence in minor C.

In pseudo-code:

IF MIDI-IN = (C-4, D#4, G-4) THEN PLAY PATTERN A
IF MIDI-IN = (C-4, E-4, G-4) THEN PLAY PATTERN B
…
ELSE PLAY PATTERN C

This feature would make possible an advanced version of the “auto-accompaniment” section of a typical home keyboard. But there are also a lot of other cool possibilities for live musicians.
