Some computer keys fail to launch clips

Post by Composer108 » Tue Dec 12, 2006 8:20 pm

I had this problem in 5.2.2 and now in 6.0.1 - not all letter keys on my keyboard are able to launch clips. I'm just hitting one key at a time. They all set up fine, the MIDI status light blinks to indicate data received, but the clip won't launch. Like an internal short circuit. Maybe half my keys are like this now. The comma, period and square bracket keys all work fine, but many letters don't. Anybody else get this?

Hi,

I guess the 'MIDI computer keyboard' feature is enabled: look on the top left, close to the KEY button, there is a tiny 'keyboard' icon. Turn it off. It is used to use the computer keyboard as a MIDI keyboard.

<GROAN> Thx bro. I reckon the LOL's on me. Talk about dredging the bottom for clues when the body's floating on the surface. "I can't even speak my own #%@$*$&^% LANGUAGE." (FZ nod) :}

it's happened to me once, figured it out, then it happened to me again, then re-figured it out :roll: :lol:
