Dear Readers:
Does anyone know if the Keyboard CHOP will become enhanced to recognize the entire keyboard, or is there a programmatic way to enhance it? I would like to be able to recognize the entire 101-key keyboard such as the spacebar key, punctuation keys, etc. (perhaps with the exception of special keys such as the F-function keys, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, etc).
My goal is to set up a CHOP network to simulate typing. So far I've got it working with the standard Keyboard CHOP filters (A-Z, 0-9, Num 0-9).
Sincerely,

I should add there is a product by TobyBear Productions called MiniHost http://www.tobybear.de/p_minihost.html [tobybear.de] which sends cc signals but I'm not sure how I would be able to use this VST with Houdini. I can always record a “typing session” but I would like the Keyboard CHOP to be fully virtual within Houdini itself without reading a MIDI file.

Hi Arctor:
I suppose this would do the trick: http://www.prodikeys.com/products/prodikeys_PC-MIDI/faq.asp [prodikeys.com] but it doesn't look like it provides CC output from the QWERTY portion of the keyboard, just the piano-keys portion. I haven't gotten MiniHost to work on my machine so I'm not sure it can transmit CC.
Can I “program” Houdini with HScript (I don't really know python) to accept input from special keys such as the spacebar and the punctuation keys?
