  • 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.

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

  • 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

  • USB Keyboard Multimedia keys ; two input devices for one keyboard.

    Hi. I can't get my multimedia keys to work (Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop USB keyboard). They don't show up in dmesg, xev, or the command line scan code program at all, even though the standard keys show as usual.
    One peculiarity is that the keyboard appears to be mapped to two devices /dev/input/event3 (the standard keys) and /dev/input/event4 (the multimedia keys) ; is there a way to "merge" the two inputs ? Is it a kernel problem ?
    TIA, Paul

    I solved my problem :-)
    Keyboard creates two event devices:
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 lip 17 12:57 pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.0-event-kbd -> ../event1
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 lip 17 12:57 pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.1-event- -> ../event2
    I had only first of it configured in xorg.conf (normal keys). I configured second device as below  (Identifier  "Multimedia keys"):
    # Core keyboard's InputDevice section
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Logitech Media Keyboard 600"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_Logitech_USB_Keyboard-event-kbd" # it is my event1
    Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
    Option "XkbLayout" "pl"
    Option "evBits" "+1"
    Option "keyBits" "~1-255 ~352-511"
    Option "Pass" "3"
    EndSection
    Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Multimedia keys"
    Driver "evdev"
    Option "Device" "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:1a.1-usb-0:1:1.1-event-" # it is my event2
    Option "XkbModel" "evdev"
    Option "Protocol" "evdev"
    EndSection
    In Serverlayout I added entry for  InputDevice  "Multimedia keys":
    Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "Dual Head"
    InputDevice "Logitech MX620" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "Logitech Media keyboard 600" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Multimedia keys" "SendCoreEvents"
    Screen "Desktop"
    EndSection
    And almost all multimedia keys started to work.
    I had small problems with couple of keys which created keycodes greater than 255. I used keyfuzz to remap these keycodes to something smaller than 255.
    After that i scaned all keycodes with xev, and mapped them to keysymlinks with xmodmap.
    Now all media keys are working and I can configure KDE to use it.

  • 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);

  • USB Keyboard - Insert key not working

    I've an HP KU-9963 usb keyboard plugged into a Dell laptop running Windows XP (all the latest updates), where all keys appear to function ok except for the Insert keys. Pressing either Insert key doesn't cause the LED to light and I get no insert action.
    Has anyone ever experienced this with a usb keyboard? Could Microsoft's driver possibly be the culprit?

    Ok, here is the solution I got from HP support. I checked it out in Word and it works:
     If you click the Office Button – click on Word Options – then click on Advanced. Under the Section for Editing options. There is a place to select use the Insert key to control overwright mode.

  • Press any key... help! the usb keyboard is not recognized and I cannot reboot

    Hi,
    I really hope that one of you can help me. I had used boot camp once on my MacBook Pro so, I did not think to plug a USB keyboard on my son's iMac before starting the installation process. As a result, when I am asked to press any key, I am stuck. Obsviously I could not reboot so I unplugged the iMac hoping that it would come back to OS and give me a chance to have the USB keyboard installed and recognized before going back to the installation. Unfortunately, rebooted and went directly to where I was at.
    Thank you for your help

    I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account.  Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.

  • USB keyboard shift keys suddenly not working

    For some reason, when I woke up my MacBook Pro this morning, both shift keys on my aluminium USB keyboard were not working. I'm using the keyboard with a Magic Mouse and LED cinema display connected to my MacBook. When I hold either shift key in combination with any other key, either nothing is typed, or there will be random characters typed, occasionally.
    I ran AppleJack on auto to see if there were any problems. There were a few preferences it corrected, but nothing major was wrong. I connected the keyboard to a friend's MacBook Pro, and the shift keys did not work on his machine either. Caps Lock does work. I've tried canned air. I don't remember spilling anything on it.
    Any idea about what I can try to get it working, or is it broken? Thanks,
    -Jeff

  • 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. 

  • Slim USB Keyboard 54Y9250 F-key lock

    My company just bought a few Lenovo desktops and they came with these slim usb keyboards.  We happen to use the F1-F12 keys in our customized application.  The problem is that instead of just pressing F3 we have to now press and hold the Fn key + F3.  Is there a way to get those keys to be the F* keys instead of changing the volume or putting the computer to sleep without taping the Fn key down or something?
    Solved!

  • USB Keyboard Keys now seem to be mapped to characters/ instead of alphabets

    Hi
    I my USB keyboard, which has been working until about a few days ago, now seems to output non-alphabet characters such as " ' ", alpha, beta, etc. However the weird thing is that the numeric keypad works fine.
    I am not sure, but I have the feeling that it could be due to the fact that I just downloaded and installed a recent Microsoft Office 2008 update.
    Any help/advice would be much appreciated!!
    Thx
    Beng

    Hi
    What did you mean by "is it reading the correct method"?
    WHen I switch to the international preference pain, the choice still appears to be english, and my laptop keyboard works fine, though NOT the USB keyboard. Its as if it has been mapped to the character pallette and outputs math, roman characters....
    Also under Input menu there is no option to set or change any roman characters, etc, just languages.
    THanks

  • IBM USB Keyboard with Ultranav - part works part doesn't

    i have an IBM usb keyboard 02R0400 with built in touchpad and ultranav.
    i am running a brand new 2month old Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with Windows Vista x64 and the last time I tried to conquer this problem I messed up my mouse drivers so bad I had to do a fresh reinstall of the OS.  The machine is running so much better as a result of rebuilding from scratch so no worries but suffice it to say I don't want to go through that again.
    CONTEXT:
    - using thinkpad on a port replicator.  have the US keyboard on the desk with my USB external mouse and second screen.  nothing too tricky about the setup.  windows vista x64.  no other msft or logitech mouse software is installed - just msft vista doing it's auto install thing.
    SYMPTOM:
    - when i plug in USB keyboard it is recognized and the keys and the touchpad work but the ultrnav trackpoint does not which is really irritating as I like to use it and don't like the touchpad at all. 
    - given i am not currently able to find a vista driver on the Lenovo site I am a little confused.  I don't really want to install driver software for XP/2000 given my unpleasant mouse driver corruption experience earlier and would like to run this install as lean as possible.
    - the OS is clearly trying to install the ultranav but failing as it shows just an "unknown device" under mice and pointing devices in the device manager.
    - also, when i go to the mouse control panel in the OS it's showing two ultranav tabs, one for the laptop and one for the keyboard but the keyboard one is not functioning and is greyed out as in it's inactive and I can't configure it
    KEY QUESTIONS:
    - How do i untangle this driver mess? And get the right driver installed so that I can get the trackpoint working on the USB keyboard without messing up my laptop ultranav trackpoint?  Key here is that I don't want to mess up the drivers so that when I detach my laptop from the port replicator the keyboard and mouse pointer on the laptop don't work which is what happened last time?  Should I just run the XP/2000 installation software for the keyboard or will that possibly screw up my vista OS - don't want that?! 
    BEST GUESS:
    - What's so odd about this is that I have used external USB IBM/Lenovo keyboard like this for years and this is the first time I have ever seen an OS get confused and create two ultranav tabs on the mouse control panel so I am thinking this is a vista x64 issue?
    Thanks for any thoughts on how to further diagnose and pinpoint the problem here or for suggestions on the proper workaround as this sure is annoying and seems like it should not be happening -- it's just a simple USB keyboard for god's sake! ;-)
    /Josh

    Saw this post today.
    Same problem here. What worked for me is the latest ultranav driver.
    I installed the latest ultranav driver from lenovo.com after trying a lot of stuff just as a last resort.
    Voila! everything works now.
    Hope this helps if you have not already found the solution
    regards,

  • Apple USB Keyboard with Numeric Keypad Problem

    Hi,
    I have a Mac Mini macOS 10.5.8
    I just bought an apple USB keyboard with numerci keypad (aluminium) and am having problems
    1/ If i hit @ i get <
    2/ if i hit < i get @
    3/ the function keys do not work : if i hit fn F11 it displays the desktop (as F11 does also), i was expecting lower volume
    4/ if i hit fn F12 i get the widgets (as with F12) i was expecting higher volume
    etc....
    It seems my USB keyboard with numeric keypad is not recognized.
    If i look at the Keyboard Visualizer (top right) it displays a keyboard that does NOT look like mine, it is smaller.
    Why isn't this keyboard correctly recognized ?
    Thanks
    Marc

    ok thanks for the tip and yes i admit i didn't see that...
    but it seems a little weird to have to upgrade all the OS to Snow Leopard just to use a keyboard.
    That kind of new device should be configured through a driver to download...shouldn't it ?
    I presume there's no keyboard driver that can solve my problem.. ?
    so you confirm that if i pay for Snow Leopard and upgrade my OS, my keyword will definitely work correctly with my Mac Mini ?
    Thanks

  • Sunray 2 not recognize usb keyboard/mice

    I have a Sun V240 server, and a X4100 server with static ip address connected via a small swith. I am getting tired of the racket so I figured I would connect them via a Sunray 2.
    From what I've read in the forums I've read there is a pop-up configuration screen on the Sunray client which can be used to set ip configuration. I've tried to access it by putlling out the power switch and pressing Stop-M using a usb keyboard that came with old Sun workstation; but, nothings happens. I notice that when I press caps lock or num lock keys the lights don't turn on. I know the keyboard is good because I can connect to the X4100 using its USB port, and I've tried another keyboard as well.
    I think the Sunray is functioning because I can see the Sun screen with a number like 00144FA2 .. and <--> 100F with 21 on the lower right of a floating panel.
    Could I be having a USB problem? I've read the Sunray specs and it uses USB 1.1 ports? Has anyone experience this?
    It would be nice if at least I could have the terminal react to the keyboard or show a mouse pointer.
    ted

    The Stop-M local menu only works when the Sun Ray has been loaded with firmware that provides that feature. The standard firmware does not offer any local configuration capability.
    If you hit Stop-V you should get an informational pop-up that shows you the unit's MAC address, IP address and firmware version. Only firmware versions that begin with "GUI" provide the local menu. If your unit has standard firmware then it must get all of its startup configuration from the network.
    The '21' state means that it's waiting for a DHCP response from the network. (See http://docs.sun.com/source/820-3768/t-s.html#50417702_pgfId-1001054 for an explanation of the on-screen progress panels.) The easiest way to proceed is to set up the Sun Ray Server Software on one or both of your Solaris systems. As part of doing that you can elect to run a DHCP server on one or both of those machines to issue an IP address and Sun Ray-specific information (like the address of a Sun Ray server) to the unit as it starts up.
    If you haven't already decided how you're going to have the Sun Ray play on your network -- whether it's going to rely on DHCP to get onto the network and find a server, or a mix of DHCP and TFTP, or some locally configured info -- then a good place to start is Chapter 7 of the Sun Ray Admin Guide. It explains the various options. (That chapter was written before TFTP-able config and local config were added, and those topics have been more or less bolted on to the end of the chapter instead of being properly integrated into the main text, but it's still a decent guide.)
    If you decide you do want to use local configuration then you'll have to set up enough DHCP and TFTP to get the GUI firmware into the unit.
