Topic: Notes missing from the full MIDI note range

Pianoteq does not play MIDI notes 0-8 and 114-127, even when the extended range of an instrument is selected. This is a problem in microtonal tunings which often require all the 128 notes on a MIDI channel (as triggers). Is it possible to enable the full range, and if not, could it be implemented in a future update?
(MIDI keyboards do send out these notes with the exception of digital pianos without octave switches.)

Re: Notes missing from the full MIDI note range

Wow, didn't notice that. I always thought it got triggered at the extreme sides but indeed I checked and it does not. It doesn't seem to be much of a solution as those MIDI notes remain unavailable in Pianoteq even when expanding the original instrument range. That's a little bit weird! This means that the 'extended layout' function in keyboard mappings reportedly saying 'for up to 16*128 notes' is also not true. I hope that Modartt will bring the extended range at the normal 0-127 if that's not already there somewhere.

If you select for example the 'Indian shruti' scale in the tuning panel, and then select "Full rebuild" , then all 128 MIDI notes are enabled.

Thanks. It seems that this problem was caused by key switches or an unsuitable kbm file.

Looks like the problem is still there when Pianoteq is being controlled by MTS-ESP. Is there a solution in this case or is it a bug that has yet to be fixed? Thanks.
