I'm trying to use a MIDI keyboard for input to make the SFX editor a little easier for music making. I am using Bome's MIDI translator to convert the keys on my MPK mini to keystrokes. In the PICO-8 console, I can hit C and it will output as a Z keystroke, then D and it outputs as X, and so on. But when I open up the SFX editor and begin playing on the MIDI keys, nothing shows up. My keyboard still works as usual and can hit Z to create a C note. I'm confused as to why the keys will output in console or the LUA editor, but not in the SFX editor. Anyone know how to get this to work?

you probably already tried this, but: did you make sure you have the leftmost column selected in the tracker view? i.e. the "pitch" column needs to have focus in order for notes to get inserted when letter keys are pressed.

hooking up a MIDI keyboard for that sounds like a great idea btw :)
