External Keyboard-Separation of Sound

I have an external keyboard/synth that works well with MS. My one concern is that I am unable to isolate the sound from the keyboard and the patches in MS. I have a fader that mixes the sourced of Keys and MS. But it does not do a complete fade out, of the keybord while picking up the signal from MS. I can deal with it, but would rather have the option of having keyboard and MS isolated as well as mixed.
Thanks

Why can't you just have one track for your external keyboard that sends its output to one bus? Then have your other mainstage tracks on a separate bus. You could control the levels of both things by adjusting their respective busses and either send them to the same output from there or to separate outputs.

How to use at the same time the audio sounds of a keyboard & the midi sounds with mainstage

Hello! hope you can shed some light on my problem! I want to be able to use at the same time the real sounds of korg sv-1(stage keyboard, but it could be any stage piano with USB midi) and use other sounds from mainstage. Of course i switch between patches and sets with a footpedal so i can be quick with my changes of sounds so I try to keep my hands on the keys.
My question is: Is there a way that one moment for example i have a silend patch (from mainstage) and the real sound i want passing through audio and the next moment silence from korg and the next patch a sound from mainstage? Or even combine them. I mean in general how am I able to integrate the sounds I prepared and organised in patches in mainstage with the beautiful piano & rhode sounds of my sv-1?
thanx in advance for your response!

Yes. To have a silent Mainstage patch, simply do not create any instrument channel strips. To have the SV-1 silent on a patch you should be able to set and save the volume for that patch to 0. As an alternative you could turn local off on the SV-1( this function will reset to local on after the SV-1 has been turned off). With local off you can determine with each Mainstage patch whether or not you want to transmit MIDI to the external instrument(SV-1) channel strip. If you have local on, be careful not to create a MIDI feedback/loop with the SV-1. This is a lot of info to digest at once, so take it slowly, step by step. Snapshots below are somewhat in order.
Click on the cog wheel in the upper right corner of the channel strips section to get to this menu. Select add external instrument channel strip.
The external channel instrument strip will look like this.
Click on the MIDI output box to show the display below and choose your external keyboard destination(SV-1).
In the channel strip inspector you can send patch changes to the SV-1.
Here is where you select the MIDI input for routing MIDI to the SV-1. If want no SV-1 sound for this Mainstage patch, select none.
You'll need to play with these parameters to get the desired results. Stepping through the MS patches with a footswitch can be done, too, but that can wait for now. Post another question when you master these steps.

External Keyboards IPAD Air

If anyone is considering buying an external keyboard do not consider the Logitech Fabric Skin Keyboard Folio for IPAD Air at $149.00. It is nice looking but the tabs that old the Ipad in are made of plastic and the upper left one is extremly thin and will crack due to their use of a plastic button to press the on/off button on the ipad. The torque caused by pressing the key causes it to crack. Mine only took 45 days. Then Logitech wants you to send it back and wait 10-15 days to get a replacement. Poor customer service.
I recommend the Belkin QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air, its what I replace my Logitech fabic keyboard with. My previous Belkin for my IPAD 4 was high quality and durable.

i just fixed my ipad air's muffling sound and vibration issues. very happy. hope below will help you all!
go to settings > general > accessibility > go to HEARING - move the bar all the way to R
hold Power and Home buttons to restart
go back to the HEARING settings - move the bar back to the middle
Now, the speaker should sound much clearer. if you want to reduce vibration, turn the bar to L or R.
All the best. CC
P.S. Apple, please keep up the good work. too many issues lately!!!

Recording external keyboard

Hi - am new to GB although have used logic express.
Am using external keyboard, through a firewire 410 interface. Interface is working fine with GB for midi, but not for external sounds - interface is picking up sounds from keyboard, but nothing is coming through into GB (have tried everything suggested, e.g. checking prefs & making sure monitor is on, etc).
Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks - have tried that, and it sees my firewire 410 fine (and is receiving midi signal fine as well.
I also get a load of input options in the instrument info bit (e.g. firewire stereo 1/2), which suggests that it's picking it up - just get no audio from it, no matter what I try.
Am sure that the connection between my instrument and the 410 is working, cos it shows input lights when receiving sound ok.

External keyboard issue

Having trouble with an external keyboard (TypeMatrix). While typing occassionally all the indicator lights on the keboard flash and no keystrokes are registered for a second. This usually causes me to lose one character. People at TM have sent me replacement keyboards and adapters, but the problem remains. Tech says that it's like there is a power break occurring in the USB port or some other issue relating to computer, not keyboard or adapter. Any ideas? Using TypeMatrix E-Z Reach 2030, Belkin USB Dual PS/2 Adapter.

backslash that should on this keyboard be the button left of 1 when presseing Alt Gr is ≤.
This sounds like the machine thinks the keyboard is ANSI instead of ISO (ANSI has no key to the left of z), and is thus mistaking its "type". Here is a note on type problems, don't know if it will help. Alt+4 = tilde does not fit any keyboard I know of.

External keyboard issues? mixing character orders

Hello,
I have noticed lately (very often actually) that whenever I start typing with my external keyboard (aluminum and older white plastic -tested both-), the OS doesn't seem to be keeping up with the charecter output.
for example if I type the word "keyboard" physically, it may present something like "eykboard".
It tends to grab the first character and mix it inside the word typed but in a wrong position.
This is through USB keyboard connected to a Macbook5,1.
If someone is aware of an answer for this, please advise.
Regards,

It sounds like your usb keyboard is damaged and needs replacement or repair. Try a different one to verify.

macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again lik it did before

If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

How to turn on a MacBook Pro 15" from an external keyboard?

Greetings,
Is there a way to power on a MacBook Pro 15" from an external keyboard?
Insights and assistance appreciated.
Best regards,
Pierson

Nope. My setup is my laptop an external monitor with Bluetooth keyboard and trackpad. I keep the laptop lid shut. If I have to turn it on, I have to open the lid and press the power button. But I rarely turn it off.

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.

How to set "display mode" from external keyboard

I have an EliteBook 8570p in a docking station, with an external monitor and keyboard attached.
I typically have my display mode as "duplicate", with the same thing showing on both my laptop screen and external monitor. I use the external monitor as the main screen. This might be uncommon, but I prefer it this way. I've been working this way for quite a while.
I very recently started using MS PowerPoint 2013. Today I discovered an annoying bug with this combination. I was in "slideshow mode" for a pptx I was working on, and I pressed ESC to get back to editing the doc. What happened was that the external monitor just showed my background wallpaper, and the laptop screen showed the normal display, along with my background wallpaper. I then had to slide over to my laptop keyboard and press Fn-F4 and set it to "Duplicate", and that restored my external monitor display.
I'm definitely going to pursue this weird behavior with PowerPoint, but I'm going to assume out of the box that this will be difficult to change. What I'd like to get from this forum is simply a quicker way to restore the "Duplicate" display mode. Is there a keyboard shortcut I can use from my external keyboard to change the display mode? There's no "Fn" key.

Although I'd still like to get an answer to this, my original problem has been solved, as I was able to disable the feature in PowerPoint 2013 that mucked with my display mode (turn off "Use Presenter View").

External display's brightness can no longer be controlled with external keyboard in 10.8.2

I can no longer control external display's brightness with external keyboard.
Until now my external keyboard controlled external display's brightness and MBPr's keyboard MBPr's brightness. Now the only way of changing external display's brightness is via Display preferences which is cumbersome
Is there any way of going to pre 10.8.2 settings?

I noticed that the keyboard and tablet were'nt working when plugged into a usb hub or monitor usb port. I had to plug in the keyboard and tablet into a mbp usb port where they worked. For some reason, after plugging them back into the usb hub they worked again. Could just be dumb luck though.

RSI Issue: Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic

Need help on IBM/Lenovo external keyboards w Trackpoint? Pic
I started my journey with Thinkpads on a T42, then T43.. then T61, X61T, R61 & T410 (bought for 2 cousins & they love it), W510 (dads new laptop). I may be a much recent convert but I swear by them now.
MAJOR ISSUE: Recently started feeling RSI (Repetitive Stress) & Carpal Tunnel symptoms (already doing stretches.. adjusted the desk.. & finding new adjustable LCD stand) since I am not using the Thinkpad directly... but using it docked with an External keyboard. Lot of Mousing as well. I'd like to go back to Thinkpad FEEL... or atleast have keyboard with a pointing device so my hands dont have to keep moving back n forth.
So, it would be great it some of my fellow T4x/T6x/X6x 'ers would guide me a bit on this... share their first hand experience, or what they've seen on these keyboards and feel free to point me to reliable sources of information.
Currently this would greatly be use with T61 - Adv Mini Dock - 30" XHD3000 LCD as shown in my signature below.
Anyone who has used or know something about one of these Thinkpad related keyboard (ideally both of these to give a comparative response).
Which of the following have you used?
How was the experience?
(Maybe point me to thread with peoples experiences)
If you've used several, which one do you prefer / recommend? Why?
At the moment I have a "slim" BTC 6200C desktop keyboard. It has laptop like scissor keyswitches, so I like it the slim notebook like profile.
The way I have positioned my 30" LCD I'd like to be able to keep the keyboard on my lap at times while on my chair and maybe on the desk at times.

I had the same issue - had to go to voice command for a few weeks (sucked) wore wrist gards to keep things netural.
Everything went away when I changed to a USB keyboard with the Ultra nav (I use the track point and disable the pad).
I've been working like that for 6+ years now... no issues.
(as a side note, sleeping with wrist guards on helped heal me the fastest. I had neoprine, with a metal plate in them - from a local drug store)

Keys on external keyboard not working

Hi folks,
I recently purchased a USB keyboard (extended numeric) for my MacBook Pro, and all has been good until this morning, when the V and Y keys (both lower and upper case) have stopped working, i.e. when I try typing with them, nothing appears. With the V key, the Edit button flashes, and nothing happens (that I can notice, anyway) when I try the Y key. (Thankfully my macbook keyboard is all okay.)
I wondered if the keyboard might have shorted, but all other keys are working okay.
Any thoughts?

Yes, the built in keyboard works perfectly well, both with the external keyboard connected and disconnected. I'm hoping the external one isn't beyond help... it's such a pain to have to replace!

Outlook 2011 and Enter keys on external keyboard

I'm currently running Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I connect a USB external keyboard and monitor and run in clamshell mode (laptop closed). Using Outlook 2011, I have noticed that the Enter keys (one near the alpha keys and one in Numpad) behave differently. For example, when typing an email, if I press the Enter key near the alpha keys, the cursor moves to a new line (behaves as expected). Pressing the Enter key on Numpad, the email gets sent (behaves unexpectedly).
Another example: when typing an appointment (or meeting request), pressing the Enter key near the alpha keys results in the cursor moving to a new line (behaves as expected). Pressing the Enter key on Numpad results in the appointment saving and closing (behaves oddly).
I don't see any way of changing this behavior within Outlook 2011, nor do I see how to change this from within System Preferences. Any suggestions?
One last curiousity for this issue: not all people seem to experience the same thing. I have spoken with three other individuals running the same setup (and hardware). One person's Enter keys both behave as expected (new line), one person's Enter key behaves similar to mine, and one person's Enter keys behave differently (Enter keys behave as expected in email, but oddly in appointments).

Yes, the built in keyboard works perfectly well, both with the external keyboard connected and disconnected. I'm hoping the external one isn't beyond help... it's such a pain to have to replace!
