got me a date with botticelli's niece
the recent thread about milkytracker got me thinking about usb keyboards. i know that torpor was working on porting midishare to the gp2x, but the most recent info i can find is from late last year.
[jay, i was just going to PM you, but i'd like to try and get some discussion going if i could. i know you were looking for beta testers then, but at the time i was far too busy and not on the boards as much. and then as now, i had no serial cable. but i have more time now and could make one for this purpose.]
my fear is that the project was either put off due to lack of testers or hit some technical hurdle. but it seemed like torpor had done a lot of work and was close to a release, and in any case i am mostly just curious about what happened. there was a nice article here:

anyway what i would really love, and would be willing to help out with if there is still work being done in this area, is something like:
usb midi keyboard (like my korg k49) + midishare + puredata + gp2x
= softsynth & sampler awesomeness that runs on a 9V and a couple of AAs?
some great and very creative things have been done in terms of tracking and composition, especially with piggy. but what i am curious about right now is what would be required to use the gp2x as a base for an extremely programmable live synth module. the setup will be involved but the potential could be unlimited. want 50 LFOs? click 'em in! an xyz controller? use a scroll mouse!
note: i know i can toss reason on a laptop, or use the tons of free vst stuff out there, but this is geekier and therefore cooler.
