This would be the ideal controller for WIVI because WIVI is amazing for doing realistic wind/brass/saxophone instrument parts, and coupled with the Pico, you could play any of the WIVI instruments with ease.

The keys are extremely sensitive on the pico and in clarinet mode respond to the slightest touch. In piano, you need to really strike the key to make a loud note and it can be difficult to make consistent sounding notes without practice. The thing which really makes it interesting is the fact you can change the key and even scale that the keys represent, going from chromatic c to d+ or major e to f++, just to pick two. Because the default bend is a semitone at full extent you can still pull off sharp/flat in major scale. Except in piano which disables the bend. There's blues and even gypsy scales to pick from among many others and in future you'll be able to make your own scale.
