That would be great if it let me specify the window to send the keyboard
event to, but I have to make it the active window first.

Something along the lines of keyboardcast is what I'm looking for. 
However with that I have to keep the keyboardcast window foremost, and
it doesn't recognize the ZynAddSubFX window for keyboard input.
