Re: Midi harmonica dm48

Yes, it's an add-on controller that mounts on the DM48. If it proves popular I'll make some of these available.

Erik Lekholm has tried it on the DM48, sounds good. Though to me the point of a MIDI harmonica is NOT to sound like a harmonica: I have plenty of traditional ones for that.
