Note, however, that Velcro fasteners have different lengths of soft bristles. Ordinary Velcro for effects may be insufficient for effective strings damping.

I found some strips sold as 'loop & hook cable ties' that seem to work well (on a guitar). There's a picture in this forum post. And in this post Greg Howard confirms that it's velcro that SE use.

I'll look into that! Thanks!! EDIT; I just took a look online at a local fabric/hobby store, as well as my local big box hardware chain. Both seem to offer a few different options, so I have a feeling I know where I'll be going this weekend (besides, my wife is a Perpetual Outdoor Project kinda gal; she'll jump at the chance to hit them up for goodies)!

Re: Hard case foam replacement
When I started fooling with MIDI Guitar 2 I needed some additional damping on the melody. I had some hardware-store self-adhesive Velcro tape, and a piece of the hook-side worked perfectly. YMMV but worth a try.
