How to disable the space bar?

Hey all,

How can I disable the space bar during the live sets?

I know I have to hit the EXT button, but this is invisible unless I use a midi device and I dont use a midi device.

Please, let me know as soon as possible!

Thanks in advance.

Hit Sync in the preferences ( between in and remote of the midi preferences)

This has no effect for me on a Mac running OS X.

Can you verify this? What OS are you operating? Do you have MIDI controller attached?

I don't find anything in the manual regarding this either.

Preferences -> Midi Sync tab -> there is a sync column. I click there and I see the little ext button appearing on the top left.

Well, Do I understand right?

When you hit the ext button. the space bar is disabled. I thought that is what you wanted to do?!?

I vaguely remember a workaround which involved changing the keyboard layout (or something like that) on a mac so the space bar wasn't a space bar anymore. I may be wrong tho..

After doing this it didn'T work or you couldn't figure this?
