Interesting, especially the “Pull a prank” one. :slight_smile:

The list got me to thinking. I have (or at least used to have, I’ll have to look for it) a device with multiple pedals that send MIDI signals. I used to use it to trigger various things when I was performing. It would be interesting to use it with KM. And this would be further proof of how much of a geek I really am!
