/**
 * This program the MIDI percussion channel with a Swing window. It monitors
 * keystrokes and mouse motion in the window and uses them to create music.
 * Keycodes between 35 and 81, inclusive, generate different percussive sounds.
 * See the VK_ constants in java.awt.event.KeyEvent, or just experiment. Mouse
 * position controls volume: move the mouse to the right of the window to
 * increase the volume.
