3 and 4 Octave MIDI Keyboards for the Scope routing window.

Thank you, Sharc!

Midi keyboards with a choice of colour scheme!? Now you're spoiling us

Ladies & Gentlemen..............Sharc.
Nice change as I have been staring at black modules all morning.......... ....Ankyu.
I think this is goergeous and quite useful.
I had to do my usual thank you snippet...never played with a mouse before.
Obviously it's the upper clef the mouse is playing...
Hey...do you think if I bought a touchscreen I could use both hands..?......................Ankyu
I tried to do a Gary Numan kind of groove and made a mistake, but the mistake sounded cool and being a Ham I had to continue as if it were meant to be.......

Thank You Sharc.

thanks very much! very helpful and totally sexy.

Only thing that could surpass it was if it also had the three switches below
But thats just bitching, this is perfect.

so much cool ne free stufff. awesome!!!

great show sharc!

Danke sharc

Thanks a bunch Shark. Superb devices.

I'll look into it for the 'Ultra' version

If it was multi-touch you could control the wheels with your left hand and play individual notes with your right. Pressing and releasing multiple keys at the same time wouldn't work on this version though - That feature would increase the dsp usage approx. 15-20x.

When I use the octave switch and then press a piano key two note on messages are send but only one note off message, resulting in hanging notes. See image. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi wouterz,

Yes it is a bug - not a feature - and one of a couple of small niggles I'll be looking to resolve for the next update.

In the meantime, all I can suggest would be to hit the reset button when you get the note hang after changing the octave select. It's not much of a solution for playing live, but then tbh I never really had that in mind when I created the device.

Thanks for the feedback

Any change for an update?

Apparantly Solaris handles this. I think by shifting any currenyly playing notes up and down with the octave switch. Nice if so (Jimmy?).

I've got quite a lot on my plate right now so no promises.

That said, I'm surprised at just how much I use these devices myself, as I never used the Pulsar keyboard in the past.

Funnily enough I find the hold feature the most useful. The hung notes are a little bit of an annoyance though, so I'll see if I can fit it in for a fix.
