I'm searching for a way to create a virtual computer keyboard in Max.

The goal is to be able to feed the textedit object by pressing letters (message objects for example, each containing one letter) on my touchscreen.

This way I can add a 'name preset save/load' option to my touch-interface patch.

Any help is much appreciated. Many objects seem to translate incoming ascii data into midi notes and stuff, but nowhere I

found an object capable of generating this specific data by itself.

That shouldn't be so difficult.
