Assigning instruments to specific keys on a USB keyboard

Is there a way to assign certain instruments to specific keys on a USB keyboard?
I use an M-Audio Keystation 49e USB keyboard. It works fine, but I have no experience with MIDI and don't know what the "advanced functions" button on the keyboard allows me to do, although I'm sure with some pointers I can figure it out.
(Some weeks back xs4ls recommended the JamPack 3 with the Studio Toolkit. Thanks for that recommendation. The stuff really improves upon the stock drumkit software instruments. But in the Studio Toolkit, certain instruments I might like to use together are often located more octaves apart than I can play at one time. The regular kits are generally organized on the keyboard such that I can play them "live" just like I do my actual drumset. This is how I prefer to lay down my drum parts. I'm also interested in assigning drum sounds from a various software kits to save as my own custom kit, if possible.)

GB3 has a "programmable keyboard" feature that isn't as slick as the stock instruments, but it's better than nothing! (one of the good features of GB3)
I found a bunch of old Qbert (the video game) noises on line, and created my own instrument with those. Pretty sweet.

Happy you liked the suggestion. I wish I could take credit for making the Jam Pack......

How do I assign brightness to function keys on new apple Keyboard in 10.3.9 using spark v2.1.1?

Hi There,
Following on from my recent post regarding the new apple wired keyboard after very helpful feedback from people who responded to my post I decided to take the leap and purchase it! Good news is that I am really happy with it and am glad that I got it! Much nicer then old apple keyboard that I was using.
I also downloaded spark v. 2.1.1 which has enabled me to change the functions of Fkeys to enable to play, pause, etc... in itunes in accordance with the keyboard layout. However, there are two functions that I am having difficulty assigning which are the F1 and F2 keys which allow the decrease and increase of screen brightness. Does anyone know how to do this? So that I can control my screen brightness using these keys.
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance.

I don't have a screen that can be dimmed or brightened, but does Increase/Decrease show up as an option here...
If not, use the AppleScript one to execute a Script...
http://groups.google.com/group/qlab/browse_thread/thread/a0f05cbd9d6c3570
to turn the brightness of the screen down to 0 / off:
tell application "System Events"
        tell application "System Preferences" to reveal anchor
"displaysDisplayTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
        tell process "System Preferences"
                set value of slider 1 of group 2 of tab group 1 of window 1 to 0
        end tell
end tell
to turn the brightness of the screen up to full:
tell application "System Events"
        tell application "System Preferences" to reveal anchor
"displaysDisplayTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.displays"
        tell process "System Preferences"
                set value of slider 1 of group 2 of tab group 1 of window 1 to 1
        end tell
end tell
NOTE - the only difference between the two scripts is the last number
which is either 0 or 1. You can also specify a number between 0 & 1. For
example, .5 = 1/2 brightness & so on.
If you use these, make sure you disable "Automatically adjust brightness
as ambient light changes or else your mid bright levels well be
overridden.

Apple aluminum (USB) keyboard is not working at all in Vista

I just brought a apple aluminum (USB) keyboard. it works fine under Leopard. But when I plug it into Vista. Vista tells me keyboard driver install correctly, and device is working, but none of the keys on the USB keyboard is working. I mean not even "abc".

As I installed Windows on my Mac, I was unable to use my wireless keyboard and mouse (which are the standards from Apple) when i was operating on the Windows partition. I had to call my buddy and use his keyboard and mouse, which were not wireless, and it worked fine. While in Windows, i did download Mac OS X, to make the two OS compatible, but the wireless still did not work on Windows. Is there something additional i need to do to allow my wireless keyboard and mouse to work on the Windows side of things. Please let me know if you have the answer

Assigning Exposé to Unassignable Keys

Hi there. I have a Powerbook, so using Expose on F9 is hard, since the key is so small and out of the way. Is there a way I can switch it to the Enter key or the Arrow keys, which would be more convenient?
I figure I'd have to get into some preferences list or code or something, since the System Preference only lets you assign Control or Option keys.
Thanks!

Thanks for your suggestions, but I think I'm not being clear enough. I don't want to assign Expose to any of the F9, F10, F11, F12 keys -- nor to any of the keys that the System Preference allows me to chose. I want to assign Expose to a key that is currently unassignable.
Specifically, on my Powerbook, on the bottom right part of my keyboard, moving left to right, I have a space bar, a command key, an enter key, a left arrow, a down arrow, and a right arrow. I would love to assign Expose to the enter key or the arrow key because it's more convenient for me to reach.
The System Preference panel only allows me to choose keys that they've pre-selected for me: F9, F10, right command, right control and the like. The enter key and arrow keys are not options. The Keyboard Shortcuts pane also will not let me assign enter keys or arrow keys.
So my question is: Is there a way to assign Expose to the enter key on my Powerbook?
Since I can't do it through the Dashboard & Expose System Preference or through Keyboard Shortcuts, I'm guessing it involves fiddling with the .plist, as mentioned above. Does anyone know how to do that or where to find the above-mentioned post from two years ago? Or is there another way?
Sorry I wasn't specific enough earlier. Thanks for any further help you can give.

Help with the Korg nano key usb keyboard!

I recently bought the Kord Nano Key usb keyboard for the purpose of triggering drum sounds and sounds from the library. Will this keyboard do this?
I have very limited time with which to read manuals and experiment. Could anyone just tell me how to get going with this keyboard. I have installed the driver and can see that some sort of signal is getting into logic.
If it is possible, can you get me up and running quickly?
Thanks

I'm assuming the Akai came with a manual, I know Logic did, you're going to have to do a little of the work yourself, your question is so vauge that no one knows what you're tried, or if you've even tried anything at all! This is professional software... you HAVE to read manuals... have you used Garageband? Have you plugged the Akai in, have you looked in Logic's online help systen to see how to load a software instrument?
Or job is not to hold your hand, this is a user forum, there are people here that will help but you need to to some work on your own.

How to assigne multiple value in key of read table

Hi gurus,
I want read table xxxx with key field1 = ' xxx' or field1 = 'yyy'.
how to assign multiple value as key for the same field while reading internal table.
Regards
sagar

Hi ,
You can loop the internal table like
loop at <table xxxx> where field1 = ' xxx' or field1 = 'yyy'
or you can write two read statements to read the internal table in wrk area.
read table <table xxxx> with key field1 = ' xxx'.
if sy-subrc <>0
read table <table xxxx> with key field1 = 'yyy'.
if sy-subrc = 0
endif.
else.
do your data processing.
endif.

Assigning a new tax key for V0 and VAT not possible

Hi Experts,
Invoice is been created successfully in SUS , XML transfered to XI which in turn created the IDOC in ECC.
I get the below error while transferring theinvoice IDOC from XI to ECC.
Assigning a new tax key for V0 and VAT not possible
Message no. FD008
Diagnosis
In Financial Accounting customizing, the tax ID transferred in the invoice is missing so that the system cannot determine a tax code. The system could not determine an entry with the value V0 nor with the value VAT .
Procedure
In Financial Accounting customizing, include the external tax ID and a corresponding internal tax code for the present partner.
Please let me know if I am missing any setup in ECC as I have already maintained the setup in OBCA, OBCD and OMRY.
Thanks,

Hi Devi,
Can you please tell me ,how you resolved this issie,I am getting same error.I I have already maintained the setup in OBCA, OBCD and OMRY.

Acct determination for Account-assigned purchase order with keys not define

Hi,
I'm trying to post an IDOC of type BBPIV through XI to an R/3 system.
The posted idoc in R/3 is in status 51 (Application document not posted) with the error message "Acct determination for Account-assigned purchase order with keys not defined in chart of acts WP2P"
As per my understanding this is something related to FI.
Long text of the error is "The system cannot generate an automatic posting because there is no account determination defined for Account-assigned purchase order with keys in chart of accounts WP2P.
Correct the account determination for Account-assigned purchase order"
Please help me how to solve this.
Regards,
Rashmi

Hiya,
This looks like its a MM posting / transaction.
You need to go to OBYC and maintain the account assignment. If you provide the business scenario (GR into Stock, Subcontracting, etc.) for the process, I may be able to help.
VKOA is for SD account assignment and I don't believe you can use that here.
Cheers.

How to protect an encryption key in a usb key?

Hello,
I have to use a 16 bytes key to encrypt the communication between my PC and an external device.
I would like to put this key in a USB stick to avoid hardcoding this key in my application.
I'm wondering how to do that.
Is there any technology provider how are selling SDK allowing to save this kind of key in a USB stick? (I image that the key is also saved in a special way to avoid that the USB key can be read from any PC)?
Thanks in advance for you help.
Alain.

Thank you for your answers.
I read some documents and these HSM seems to be complex and expensive for my purpose.
I was locking for something like an SDK composed of a USB stick and some software parts to be able to do the following:
- Put my key on the usb stick by using a special application (to avoid that we can read the key with any computer by just pluging it in a USB connector).
- Read this key in my java application by using an existing java API.
I did some searches to find such product but did not find anything :(

Application specific key-value pairs in jndi.properties

Hello,
Can I specify my application specific key-value pair in jndi.properties?
I tried something like this
java.naming.factory.initial=.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory
java.naming.provider.url=t3://localhost:7001
myVar=myVal
When i tried looking up "myVar" from my client program, I got an error.
The other parameters like weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory are picked up.
Anyhelp will be appreciated

We have a similar problem.
We would like to configure our PROVIDER_URL for a specific web application - not
for the entire server. Since the URL should be different in development, test
and production environments, we would prefer to just set it in the deployment
descriptor. And we have a lot of code that just uses
ctx = new InitialContext();
when looking up EJBs, queues etc.
Actually, to take the problem one step further, it should be expected that later
we will have EJB's deployed on different machines/clusters - so we will actually
need specific urls for each EJB.
Is there a good way to do this? Or will we have to custom-develop our own jndi
configuration standard using application parameters to set which JNDI provider
each EJB should be looked up with?
Alternativaely, can we "import" the JNDI trees of the app server in the JNDI tree
of the web servers?
So, how should we go about this?

Hi Robert,
You are right. But The object "myVar" which I am trying to look upis not in
the JNDI tree nor am I interesed in binding it . But my requirementis that
I have one application specific variable which I am trying to lookup and I
dont want to have a separare config file for this..and hence the question..So, put the properties you want in the jndi.properties file and load
the properties
file from your code by doing something like this:
Properties props = new Properties();
ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
if (cl == null)
cl = System.getSystemClassLoader();
InputStream is = cl.getResourceAsStream("jndi.properties");
props.load(is);
Personally, I would not use this file and would create an application-specific
file
or, as Daniel suggested, define your properties as a System property
and use
System.getProperty("myVar").
btw, is jndi.properties only for those objects which are bound to jnditree?
jndi.properties is only used for creating the JNDI InitialContext. The
whole idea
of this file is that in remote client code (without the jndi.properties
file), you
need to do something like this to tell the JNDI classes how to connect
to the JNDI
provider:
Properties props = new Properties();
props.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, "t3://myservername:7001");
props.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory");
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(props);
but inside the server, you only need to do this because the server is
the provider
and already knows how to connect to itself:
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext();
Therefore, the jndi.properties file allows you to externalize this property-setting
code that sets up the properties to be passed to the InitialContext constructor
so
that the remote client code can now look exactly like the code inside
the server.
The InitialContext constructor will look for this jndi.properties file
in your
classpath and load it to get the necessary configuration information
to determine
how to connect to the JNDI provider.
Hope this helps,
Robert

How do you identify a key events source (std keyboard or a USB barcode reader emulating keyboard)?

I have attached a USB barcode reader which essentially emulates a USB
keyboard. Having looked through the VC++ V5.0 documentation and some SDK
documents that I have, I could not find a library function that identifies
what device sourced the keyboad event.
Does know if this is possible ? Anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks.

If you over ride the "CWnd:reTranslateMessage" function you'll be able to trap keyboard messages.
ex:
BOOL CTestexecDlg:reTranslateMessage(MSG* pMsg)
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && (pMsg->wParam == 13 || pMsg->wParam == VK_ESCAPE))
// Enter or escape key was pressed; return TRUE to stop default handling
return TRUE;
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && pMsg->wParam == 0x30)
BringWindowToTop( );
return TRUE;
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && pMsg->wParam == 0x31 && m_DisplayObject1 != NULL)
// Enter or escape key was pressed; return TRUE to stop default handling
m_DisplayObject1->SetWindowToTop( );
return TRUE;
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && pMsg->wPa
ram == 0x32 && m_DisplayObject2 != NULL)
// Enter or escape key was pressed; return TRUE to stop default handling
m_DisplayObject2->SetWindowToTop( );
return TRUE;
if (pMsg->message == WM_KEYDOWN && pMsg->wParam == 0x33 && m_DisplayObject2 != NULL)
// Enter or escape key was pressed; return TRUE to stop default handling
m_DisplayObject3->SetWindowToTop( );
return TRUE;
return CDialog:reTranslateMessage(pMsg);
