Cant`t assign NumPad,1-0 or F1-f12?not possible?

Post by maomakmaa » Fri Apr 29, 2005 9:50 am

hi!

my problem:i have a cool kiddy-keyboard with BIG Buttons.(not midi-keyboard,PC-Letters,F1-F12! !)
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie ... otohosting
Some buttons light red if you push em.wonderfull for liveact.looks great.

But the same Problem with a normal Keyboard
for example I want to use on nubers 1-0 or F1-F12 Fx for the vocalz,FX,Clips(turn on/of,etc.) I only can use the LETTERS? a to z? what a shit is this?
it`s not possible to use EVRY FUCKIN button of my PC-keyboard?
Not the Numpad?
Cant be true.So,im a fool or is the KEY-Assign only shit?*sorry*
Or is there a softwaretool to "route" PC-Key-Events to MIDI-Controllers?

please help,would be great.
thx and EAT THE RICH,maomakmaa

that is verra cool btw... i translated the page, it says simultaneous connection with regular keyboard is possible, so I'm wondering if it's USB? If it is, isn't there software that will map signals from USB devices to MIDI?
UTENZIL a tool... of the muse.

Plogue Bidule has a HID Data extractor.
When set to keyboard, every key will produce a midi note number, that with some remapping might be used like you want it.
