in fact soemthing very much like this was developed last year or
so. it also uses 'chords' played with one hand, and can is a

there was an article in a big german magazine called c't, if
you mail to ix at cosmo they might help you (iX is a magazine
of the same publisher, couldn't find a email address for
c't).
