Computer Keyboard Octave

[CyberGen]

Hello,

How do I change the octave played by the computer keyboard?

@CyberGen Bump.

@DanH I meant specifically the output from the computer-QWERTY-keyboard. Most VIs have a way to use the computer-keyboard and change its octave. For example in Faust you use “z” for down one octave and “x” for up one octave. I haven’t found it for HISE. This is useful for when you are on your laptop and want to input notes directly from its keyboard.

@CyberGen Do these do it?

[CyberGen]

@d-healey nope, strangely those change which note looks pressed, but the pitch remains unchanged.

So I had a poke around in the source code and it seems this QWERTY keyboard to trigger note behaviour is part of the stock JUCE keyboard.

There is a function setKeyPressBaseOctave that can be used to set the octave but it doesn't look like this has been implemented in HISE. So I guess this is a feature request.

@d-healey Thank you for digging this out. You have now idea how many key combinations I tried. I'll move this topic into a feature request for @Christoph-Hart

@DanH Thanks, Dan - that one's had me for years!
