This is the name of a community project, based on the software Midi2Kb, given in source under the same licence as the CommunityWiki offers their pages (GeneralPublicLicence, CreativeCommons, ShareAlike).

'''What is Midi2Kb:'''
* This is a program, that allows a touchsensible Midi keyboard to enhance or even replace the PC-keyboard.
'''What is it good for'''
* Just let me look into WardsWiki, where the author mentionned the idea years ago
** Wiki:PianoKeyboard

* Meanwhile the author has written an undocumented prototype, detecting more benefits
** faster input than on a PC keyboard, due to very elegant Macro-Calls via AutoHotKey
*** pressure and timesensitive chords (yeah, a MidiKeyboard can be a lowcost steno-machine)
*** playing it without looking at it, this is easier than on a not so homogenous PC keyboard, using alt,ctr, shift etc.
** permanent eartraining
** more training for pianists on the "right" keyboard, when writing an email or posting, then of course with Midi
** more inspiration for compositions
** depending on the Midi Keyboard Layout, it appears to be really more ergonomic
** usable to control
*** graphics programs
*** music composition software (in different ways, not thought of by the composition software)
*** text and browser programs
*** VJ-ing (animation performance)

'''Why is it relevant for community building:'''
* it bridges at least 7 communities:
** AutoHotKey, build around a free rich macro system for windows.
** KeyKit, an object-oriented C dialect for composing and performing Midi music
** WikidPad, a personal Wiki with a built in Database engine for efficient storage of pages
** MeatballWiki, a community, that helps to build communities
** CommunityWiki, that is similar to Meatball, additionally offering a free **** WikiFarm. (CommunityWiki:odd)
** the DiiGo community (with its subcommunities) using social annotations and bookmarks
** the wider Blog community

'''Discussion:'''

* Remark: When looking in the page Wiki:PianoKeyboard, you can verify that currently (2006-12-03 00:21) MeatballWiki is not a real TwinWiki to WardsWiki yet, e.g.  

** because for Wiki:PianoKeyboard there is no TwinLink to a WantedPage in MeatballWiki (although you could change this)
** you see however in this line a TwinLink from MeatballWiki:MidiToKb to a WantedPage Wiki:MidiToKb  ;-)

* In our community project MidiToKb it would be nice to have WikiPrefixes available on all involved TwinWikis.
