Hi maybe you could add a text to speech engine to SM. I think i saw a SDK kit online to put msagent voices into software so it might not be such a crazy idea 🙂
A visual keyboard input, I tried to make one but cannot work out how. Im guessing it can be done but i have no idea how.
Rollover images, like the tooltip help does with text but with images, And maybe 2 versions of this, Single and Multi so you could have a static image that changes when you hover over certain images but positioned in the same place for each rollover. And the singles for seperate versions of this.
A Data input for mouse input which acts like the string module does and you enter something like Left Down, Right Down, Left Released ect and then you could connect these to Flow controls and trigger mouse events via switches.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it can be done, everything needed to achieve this is already there, the timer example Jorge posted shows how to generate midi events. So all that is needed is a graphic of a keyboard, some 'magic' to work out which key was pressed, and then to trigger this key by creating a midi event 🙂 Unless I'm misunderstanding what you've asked for!

I think this could be done already, although I've not tried. We can monitor the mouses position. So we can test to see if it is within certain bounds and if so flip a switch to draw a new bitmap or something. Hmm, if it can't be done yet I'd guess it won't be long until it can! I might have a try to do it now I'm curious 😉

Shifrin thanks for your reply. Yeah im sure they can be done i have given both a try but i couldn't do certain things. One thing i couldnt work out was how to make the mouse act as if its always held down which im guessing will help alot when making rollovers as the event would otherwise expect a mouse click to trigger the event. As i said i couldn't really make what i wanted though and i have tried a few time now so im waiting to see if all you SM pro's can do it or get decent results. For the keyboard it might be possible with list entrys/flows to map out the pitch and velo settings which i couldn't figure out 🙂
