should be fairly easy, and i agree with the design goals.

in sequence.cc, there is a method called start_midi_grab(). this
connects another method called "handle_midimsg()" to the "any" signal
of the MIDI input parser for the sequence's input port. every message
that is received is used to set the next step until all steps are set,
and then we remove the connection to the "any" signal.

so instead of doing that, connect to the "note_on" signal, and extract
the note number while in handle_midimsg, using it to set the step
value. most of the logic will stay exactly as it is now.

have fun!
