excellent, this way you escape the windows ``editor'' ;)

oh, you have to use ``-q rmidi:<nanokontrol_number>'', as
you probably did for the volume.
Except if you have started the following before you start
aucat:
midicat -l -q rmidi:<nanokontrol_number>
in which case midithru:0 will broadcast midi events from the
nankontrol, and aucat should get them.
