How to make a button control the keyboard press？

[CatABC]

I used

Message.getNoteNumber()

to control the button switch, but I also want the corresponding key on the Keyboard to respond when the button is clicked. How can I do it?

[d.healey]

@CatABC I believe the keyboard only responds to incoming MIDI so you'd need to create an entirely custom keyboard using a panel - or you might be able to fudge it somehow using laf.

[CatABC]

@d-healey fine, it seems I have something to do again. Thank you very much.

[aaronventure]

Try the playNoteFromUI or whatever it's called. It will spawn the on note event in that processor.

[d.healey]

@aaronventure Oh nice!

Edit: Doesn't seem to work unfortunately

@aaronventure unfortunately it will not work
@CatABC you can at least colour the played key on note on and remove the colour on note off

i does however trigger the note on callback so if you have a custom keyboard, you can change your graphic there.

shame about the tile keyboard not working with this, it really looks like low hanging fruit.

@aaronventure said in How to make a button control the keyboard press？:

Yes I usually do that as well, however it will not work in the main script processor, you have to put the function in another script processor lower down in the tree

[aaronventure]

@ulrik playNoteFromUI works in the same processor where you call it, other methods don't and will only be triggered after the one they were called from.

you can add a print call to the on note callback in David's example and it'll appear in the log when you click the button.

[ulrik]

@aaronventure Ok, yes I see that now, thanks!

[CatABC]

@ulrik Ahaha, that's a great idea!
