keys as standard function keys', which reverses this behavior so that just hitting the key by itself sends its input directly to programs including Soundplant, and Fn+the function key accesses the associated system function (note that even with this.
#SOUNDPLANT TOGGLE BETWEEN KEYBOARDS MAC#
You are correct sir :) I wrote the program. On Mac it's very easy: under System Preferences Keyboard, check the box for 'Use F1, F2 etc. I'm assuming you're associated with soundplant Yes, of course - like in any other program - just toggle your keyboard's numlock setting. Is there any way to maybe trick it into thinking my numpad keys are actually ins, del, etc when I press them? This commercial ran about two to three weeks agoit was an overview (as I can. Second, the system treats numpad keys a little differently than the rest and the numlock setting affects them so it's a little less efficient to use them for low latency triggering. Flavia Watson Singer, Lorin Angelica Doctor Girl playing keyboard Agency. ctrl+A triggers a sound, ctrl+alt+A triggers a different sound, and just plain A triggers yet another sound.įirst, most keyboards these days have no numpad. This allows you to trigger different sounds with the same key using key combos with ctrl and alt, e.g. No, but what you can do is use the 'only trigger sounds with key combo' setting in combination with 'background key input' and multiple Soundplant windows. Is there no way to expand the amount of keys you can use as input?

I know there are programs to let you activate MIDI with your keyboard but I'm not really experienced with MIDI stuff and not looking for a full DAW for this, so if there's a standalone program that does this with MIDI and I could use that in conjunction with a keyboard-MIDI program that should also fit my needs. I'm just wondering if there's anything out there already that you've had good experiences with.

I know this stuff is possible, I could program it myself if I knew how to do UI stuff and wanted to go through the effort. And as far as I can tell it doesn't record keyup events (to play the sound for as long you hold the key, then kill it when you release it) or even really properly record keydown, since repeat is on by default as if you were entering text. Certain keys aren't available for use and the ones that are (besides the letters) aren't really convenient for my keyboard's layout. Soundplant is good and I'll be using it for right now but it's just a little too limited. You CAN change the octave that the notes play.Just looking for a way to press a key and have a specified waveform play according to which key. Launch an unlimited number of Soundplant instances to expand polyphony and output to multiple audio devices simultaneously. Also, qwerty keyboards are all the same in that they don't record velocities, and they're not designed for playing instruments. Soundplant, now in its 15th year and winner of multiple awards, was designed to do one thing and do it well: to trigger sound files from the computer keyboard with maximum speed, efficiency, and ease of use.

The software we will use, Soundplant 47, will also let us manipulate and edit the sounds in real time and extend the expressive possibilities of our. So why blame Studio One? An analogy: If you lost your hammer, and were stuck pounding nails with a pipe, it's not the lumber company's fault (no sarcasm meant.just looking for a good example). as happens when you choose to change between english and spanish keyboard. Anyway, I think you're going to be very limited using qwerty no matter what software you use. Function keys: Most keyboards have function keys (F1-F12) that can perform. I just remembered that there's a program called Soundplant. But you have to assign each key (The program is designed for you to make custom sound-effect layouts) You can check it out here: You can assign any sound sample to any key. If memory serves, I was using Audacity along with Soundplant.then found S1 and moved on.Īlso, here's a screenshot of how to change the octave in S1's Presence instrument (note the arrows circled in orange) I don't know if you can use it with Studio One Free.

I know I can change the octaces but my point is being able to use two Octaves at the same time, like in Cubase for example. It's very annoying having to open this window all the time while in Cubase I just have to press ALT+K or Capslock in other DAW's and QWERTY controller runs in the background without that annoying window.Ĭan't imagine this isn't bothering people. Studio One is so awesome tbh and it may sounds crazy to you but this QWERTY thing drives me nuts and almost makes it unusable for me. Soundplant turns your computer keyboard into a versatile, low latency sound trigger and playable instrument.
