Caps Lock Keyboard "G" key causes hanging notes

When I use Logic Pro 8s Caps Lock Keyboard the "G" key causes hanging notes. The only way I've found to end the hanging note is to start and stop the sequencer. This behaviour happens when auditioning instrument sounds and in Record or Record Ready mode.
It's not a mechanical problem, as the "G" key doesn't cause multiple entries in text documents etc when pressed and released quickly. It only seems to be misbehaving inside of Logic itself, when using the Caps Lock Keyboard.
Is anyone else having this trouble?
Does anyone know why it happens and/or how to fix it?

can someone help please?
I opened up a new song, blank, and the caps lock keyboard worked fine.
seems to be a problem with older songs, which leads me to think maybe its a setting i have changed, ie when playing with uc33 midi contoller.
thankyou

Caps Lock Keyboard having issues with certain notes and chords

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a weird issue when I'm using the caps lock keyboard on my macbook pro (running 10.6.2) with logic 8.
When I play certain chords, 1 or 2 of the notes don't sound.
It's almost like I'm having limited polyphony but in a random way.
It's happening on any instrument or plugin.
Sometimes only 3 of 4 notes are ringing out, sometimes 2 of 4, sometimes I can play a big 6 note chord and no notes drop out.
It's not the same note dropping out in multiple chords when it happens, sometimes in one chord a note won't ring out but in a different chord that same note will play fine.
But it's the same chords that give me the same issues every time.
I've already trashed the prefs file (com.apple.logic.pro.cs)
This only happens on my macbook pro on the internal keyboard. It doesn't happen on my desktop mac nor does it happen when I use an external keyboard on the macbook pro.
My Macbook Pro's keyboard functions fine in every other way.
Any Ideas? It's really driving me crazy.
Thanks,
Joe

There is a limit to the keyboard response in hardware - it's got better, but in older machines the keyboard processor could only handle about two or three key presses at once.
A qwerty keyboard is not a musical instrument - you cannot guarantee a decent, or quick response - I'd suggest you get a real keyboard if you are writing a piano concerto....

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

You cannot.

MIDI note delay / stagger using Caps Lock keyboard and 3rd party plugins

Whenever I am using any of the following plugins:
Waldorf PPG Wave, Waldorf D-Pole or Audio Damage Reverence,
with the respective plugin windows open, I can hit several notes on the Caps Lock keyboard simultaneously and some of them will trigger after the rest.
Interestingly, Reverence and D-Pole are effects, and so placing them on any audio instrument, including those that came with Logic, causes them to behave as PPG Wave always does when its plugin window is open.
The delay time seems to be variable.
When the plugin windows are closed, there is no delay.
As well, triggering many notes at once or notes in quick succession seems to cause things to stagger up more.
Sometimes the MIDI notes get stuck and continue playing until they are pushed again.
This seems strange to me, as CPU usage on the plugins is extremely low (the CPU meter does not even register a single mark).
The problem does NOT occur if I draw out a MIDI sequence that does precisely the sort of things that cause the holdups when I am using the Caps Lock keyboard.
Is the Caps Lock keyboard just not very good at certain things?
Why would this problem occur only with these specific plugins?
None of Logic's included plugins have this problem (unless of course I stick Reverence or D-Pole on them as an insert and open the Reverence window).
Naturally this is an inconvenience that can be worked around, but it is annoying.
Thanks for your time.

Hey Rob,
I opened up the Activity Monitor, and CPU usage in Logic Express is 35-40% with the plugin window open and between 16-20% with it closed.
That doesn't seem to be it, but your suggestion that the Caps Lock keyboard is probably just not good at handling many notes at once is definitely correct.
I plugged in a MIDI keyboard and the CPU usage is the same, but there is no staggering problem.
Perhaps there is something off with the CPU meter in Logic Express 7, though.
The Audio side registers activity, but the CPU side says nothing, when clearly the Activity Monitor has it right.
Anyway, thank you for answering my question--it is sort of an annoying little problem, but I just won't play fast with Caps Lock, I suppose.

Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook - once-flashing leds @ caps lock and scroll keys @ start-up

My HP Pavilion dv4-1275mx notebook runs Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 1 for 64x-based systems.
Recently, when I turn it on, the led lights @ the caps lock and scroll keys repeatedly flash once.
I'm not sure what, if anything, happened prior to this starting. It's possible that there was a power surge when it was shut off, or it may be related to doing a McAfee virus scan or installing the latest version of a software, e.g., Adobe Reader.
I was able to use my System Recovery disks to reinstall the Vista software, thinking this might "kickstart" my computer into working, e.g., as part of the restart process. After the reinstallation, I was able to use my computer, although the led lights continued to flash. However, once I shut down my computer, I have been unable to restart it. The leds continue to flash upon start-up, and I have not been successful in again reinstalling the Vista software. (I thought if could get my computer to work again that way, it might stay accessible if I used hiberate mode instead of shutting it down.)
The computer's about 4-1/2 years old. The screen has a short of some kind (only turning on when the screen is low to the keyboard, so I use an external monitor.

Try the steps in the following weblink:

Why does Caps Lock and F keys log me out of websites?

MacBook Air 11" Core i5, OS X 10.7.2, Safari 5.1.2.
Caps Lock and F keys seem to log me out of websites like Jimdo and stop BBC iPlayer from playing video, why? Most annoying. As you can't turn up the volume with out stopping the video and the system going back to the beginning of the video.

On a Mac OS X system: System Preferences->Keyboard and Mouse->Keyboard(tab)->Modifier Keys(button): set Caps Lock to No Action (or to plain Shift if you prefer). Some people like Caps Lock. They can keep it. Others (like me) keep pressing it by mistake. We disable it. Everybody's happy. And if you're a No Caps Lock type of person, but really want it on rare occasion, just map it back temporarily. Takes 5 seconds.

Caps Lock Keyboard Question

How do you keep the caps lock keyboard from adding piano sound sample to loaded plug-in sounds in tracks?
When I use the caps lock feature, I get a "generic" piano sound no matter what type of track is selected. I would like to restrict the output to loaded instruments in instrument tracks, but the piano always sounds along with them. Is there any way to disable this, i.e. silence the piano?
Thanks in advance.
MS

You're doing something wrong with your MIDI routing.
The caps lock keyboard simply sends a note to Logic, which gets passed through the environment and onto the selected track, rechannelised accordingly and sent to the instrument assigned to that track - exactly the same way other MIDI data is processed.
Check your environment cabling/routing, or the instrument you have selected.
If you don't know where to look, try opening a new fresh song (not one of your templates) by option-clicking on File -> New and trying the caps lock keyboard in that song..

Caps Lock Keyboard

PROBLEM:
When i am using my caps lock keyboard i will play the bass drum where it is SUPPOSED to be and it wont sound. So i change the octave and so that it will sound. Then on playback it will play it back an octave higher. so instead of getting a bass drum i will get a tom or something else.
I have restarted LE7 and i have restarted my computer and even shut it down for 8 hours, came back, and it is still doing the same thing.
G4 Powerbook 1.4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

i can record my guitar and here it during both recording and playback. im using an onkyo usb preamp. its compatible with LE7 as it automatically recognized it.
Oh and thanks for the tip about opening drum kits, i usually just click inserts and go to garageband instruments but that exs24imlo-87645-op-zyut-a-1 works a whole lot better.
Also the more i play the song the more the drums start altering themselves. Like where i had the bass line it is now and octave lower. Ive went through the key commands thoroughly and tried to find some type of hotkey that i could have pressed on accident but alas, no solution.

Caps lock keyboard can't be hidden now?

Looks like the option to hide the annoying and useless caps lock keyboard has been taken away. Why would they do that? It's always in the way, and you really don't need to see it after the first or second time you use it.
Am I wrong, has that option just moved somewhere else? It just seems so ridiculous to take that away.

Huh?
But then obviously you can't use the caps lock keyboard.
I'm talking about actually using the caps lock keyboard and not having it show. In Logic 7 there was an option to have it hidden when caps lock was engaged.

Caps Lock Keyboard- Change default octave?

I'm surprised I didn't find a spot in the Preferences to choose which octave you want as default for the Caps Lock Keyboard. I know how to change it manually with the number keys, but since I'm usually messing with drums, I'd rather it default to Octave 1.
Thanks,
Dave

45,
Thanks for weighing in. I suppose that Keyboard Maestro could pull it off, but on the other hand, if there is no actual pref for this, I can get used to using the number keys to change octaves (I'll have to hit one or two keys either way).
I wonder what the rational was for the default of Octave 2? Drums are typically Octave 1 and many other general presets default around Octave 3. Anyway, I can stop looking for a pref setting that isn't there.
Thanks again,
Dave

Caps Lock Keyboard- Increase viewing size?

I find the caps lock keyboard very convenient when dragging around my laptop without any additional hardware in tow. (It's perfect for quick little place-holder drum tracks.)
I searched, but couldn't find an answer... is there a way to have a larger view of the keyboard (without plugging in a 24" monitor)? The transparency slider is nice, but I'd rather have size manipulation.
Thanks,
Dave

I find the caps lock keyboard very convenient
Same here.
is there a way to have a larger view of the keyboard
Using the OS X zoom feature (System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing > Zoom), you could make it so big that it consumes your whole screen. This isn't as nice as being able to zoom only the keyboard window itself, but I don't think there's any way to do that.
You also might want to take a look at MidiKeys. It does not solve the zoom problem, and I generally find it less convenient than the Caps Lock keyboard, but you still might find it useful, for one reason or another.

Certain keys don't work-delete, space bar, caps lock, quotes-apostrophe key

Certain keys don't work on the built-in keyboard: delete, space bar, caps lock, quotes-apostrophe key...I have to use the "keyboard viewer" to use these particular keys. My adapter is connected to the computer, but the problem persists.
Can anyone please suggest troubleshooting for this annoying problem? It has been like this for about 2 weeks now.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Does anything happen when you hit these keys?
Try this:
In System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse, click the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tab, then the "restore defaults" button.
