Topic: Feature suggestion: the numeric arrow keys

Hello MODARTT team,

Would it be possible to add working numeric arrow keys (2 and 8)?

My problem is, if I play a church concert with Pianoteq it would not necessarily look cool  with a laptop or computer tower + monitor in plain view. It would be much nicer to hide it and have just a little USB numeric keyboard with me. Now, if I just could change presets with that, it would improve the live playability of my Pianoteq tremendously...

I have looked through the manual and this feature seems not to exist. Please consider it for the next release, thank you!

PS... Or maybe the numeric keys could change the sounds in MyPresets folder no. 1-9.... That would be great, too!

Re: Feature suggestion: the numeric arrow keys

These keys already work on my keyboard. (But I don't use a separate numeric keypad.)

Have you tried just going into Options\General\Edit Keyboard shortcuts, clicking on the default value for Program change, selecting "Change this key-mapping" and then pressing the arrow key?

Works fine, here, using either regular arrow keys or the arrow keys on the numeric keypad. Using the pro version, however.

Fantastico!

How could I overlook the option to change keyboard shortcuts? Worked perfectly.

Thank you!

Re: Feature suggestion: the numeric arrow keys

Just to avoid to open another topic, I have a sugestion.

Sometimes it's nice to play the trebble with sustein pedal down, a  nice effect and different from a simple chorus.   Bu if we go middle range to bass, trhe sustein get a problem, since bass get very long sustein.  Well, that's the nature of a real piano...

Why not be able to change that if wish, and get a sustein duration quite more homogeneous along key range ?

Re: Feature suggestion: the numeric arrow keys

if you have pro version you can do it scaling impedance down in note edit and direct sound duration up. You can set every single note to sustain as long as you like
