i've built a simple keyboard to midi translator in plogue that i want in every usine set i open but i can't have a midi out port in the master - is there a technical reason for this senso? i can get around it using an out port inside plogue but i thought i might use a usine window to display transpose etc and do that processing in usine as i find it easier to work with.

also, i would've built the keyboard translator in usine but on key down theres a single pulse for keypress then a longer pulse for key held, which means i get two midi note ons if i hold the key down. i can see where something like this might be useful but i can't yet get round it for what i want to do - any suggestions anyone?

ps - i have seen the keyboard to midi tool in the add-ons but it isn't polyphonic and i'm after a specific two octave/manual setup

I'll see if it's possible to implement it easily. Normally it should rock...

thanks senso

Hi, I've taken a look at the possiblity of creating a polyphonic qwerty-to-MIDI solution, but as far as I can see it's not possible using Usine modules. The problem is not with generating NoteOns, that's easy, but if more than one key is held, only the last one's key up is recognized since the the key number is only updated on key presses.

This goes for the keyboard module, and I suspect it's the same code used for the Key Learn as well, as I expirienced the same behaviour when using a couple of switches.

would it be possible in scripts or with the sdk? if so, it might give me a reason to try and learn them more...

I don't know if this is possible, but I know reaktor has support for polyphonic control from qwerty. There are some combinations of keys that don't work, though, and I suspect this is an underlying windows or hardware problem.....

cool tip - i forgot about reaktor for this... i've built an acceptable two octave workaround in bidule, but reaktor might use less cpu?
