Hi,
I have some feature suggestions:
It would be awesome if:
· the buttons on the toolbar toogle show/hide the tools (now only shows, but doesn't close)
· shortcuts keys were added for toogle show/hide the tools
· were possible to use the pc's keyboard to play the piano (just like kontakt does, including the octaves)
Cheers.
This is an interesting idea.
However, it's not clear to me whether this would be an improvement in all respects:
To summarize: I can see that having show/hide buttons can useful to certain users in certain situations, but at the moment the disadvantages seem to outweigh the advantages. I'll have to think about it, and of course find a button type that can do this in the first place...
The keyboard window was never meant to be used as a serious playing tool.
For instance, this is why the arpeggio feature uses Windows' light-weight but inaccurate timing system, which can easily lead to hiccups.
This is also why I haven't bothered implementing the use of the computer keyboard for playing notes.
One problem is that not every computer keyboard uses QWERTY: some countries have AZERTY, some QWERTZ, etc. Maybe it is possible to use the computer keyboard's underlying scan codes (which should be the same); but still, in the end it may be best to make the assignments user-customizable, which of course will make things more complicated. So I can't promise anything, but I'll look into it.
Mark.
Hello!
What about minimizing to tray?
Thank you!
First attempt:
MIDI Tools 2.2.3 Alpha 2 for Windows:
Installer: https://mountainutilities.eu/dl/miditls-2.2.3a2-install.exe
32-bit portable: https://mountainutilities.eu/dl/miditls-2.2.3a2-x86-portable.zip
64-bit portable: https://mountainutilities.eu/dl/miditls-2.2.3a2-x64-portable.zip
You can minimize the application to the systray in two ways:
And of course you can restore the application by single-clicking on its icon in the systray.
(I've also tried to create a macOS edition, but I haven't been able to make that work (yet?).)
