Keyboard software allows users to play MIDI-compatible music on their computer using a specially designed keyboard. Perfect for producing, composing or live performance, this software allows you to unleash your creativity and explore endless musical ideas.
One of the key features of Keyboard is the ability to control note velocity, modulation, and bend with your mouse. All you need to do is drag it over the control surface, and you'll have instant access to these controls. If you want to move the mouse without changing parameters, simply press down one of the mouse buttons.
The software is set up so that the white notes are on the second and fourth key rows, while the black notes are on the row above. However, you can customize the keyboard mappings to suit your specific locale by adding a KeyboardMapper.properties file. The developer can provide you with details on how to do this or you can edit the file in the jar file.
To change octaves, simply press the up or down arrow keys. Additionally, you can use the escape key to send an all-notes-off signal, which will also reset modulation and bend to reasonable values.
To ensure that your MIDI output channel is used correctly, you can control it using the channel function. Overall, Keyboard is an easy-to-use program that makes it simple to turn your computer keyboard into a fully functioning MIDI keyboard.
