@d-healey here's my example keys.

I see the problem now. You need to have all 22 images before it will apply the custom graphics, you can't have some keys custom and others not.

@d-healey oh okey, thx for answer

How can I use my own images and create a keyboard ?
Cannot see a way to add the images ?

Hmm, but there is a problem with this .
Its only 12 images ...what about the top key ? Which is different ?

[ulrik]

@lalalandsynth I guess it starts with a C, so img0 - C, img1 - C# etc..

so img0 -

YEs , which then repeats for each octave I assume ...until you hit the top key , which looks different then all the other keys , hehe.

@lalalandsynth Ahh, ok my bad, I misunderstood, sorry

[lalalandsynth]

It is not possible to put in this key :)

[d.healey]

@lalalandsynth I might be wrong but I thought the black keys were overlaid onto the white keys. So all white key images can look like the top key.

[lalalandsynth]

@d-healey Yes , although I would prefer not do do that since I want a more realistic looking keyboard.
Also, that does not really help unless I am only making one octave.

I should allow for the 12 keys plus a top key, the default has a top key .

**Also a bit strange that if you want the default keys with say two octaves you need to set the lowkey to 96 to see the top key ) but my lowest note is at 36. AAAaand the top note is a G which is uncommon.
Can that be transposed somehow ?

[d.healey]

You can set lowest/highest note in the property editor. You can make an entirely custom keyboard using a panel.

Yes, I know , I was referring to the fact that to see the top note with a two octave keyboard (plus 7 notes) I need to set the lowest note to 96. Depends on GUI size.

That is probably the way to go, I guess using a bunch of buttons ? But that way I would lose the velocity placement capability of the default keyboard.

Probably best if a 13th note image was added ;)

No buttons required. Just paint routines and mouse callbacks.

[lalalandsynth]

@d-healey Yes, But I would want to use images.
