Knock-knock... anybody home?

Sergos, Hi, this is really great idea "Qwerty" PC keyboard !
Voted ! ; )

Yes a few people have asked for this and I'll try and get round to adding it at some point. Also space bar to start/stop the sequencer would be nice.

Is there are universally accepted pair of keys to do octave up/down on the synth too?

Keyboard support when inputting letters would also be useful. Now you have to use the mouse which feels kind of odd.

Octave up & down are usually z and x.

But there are two possibilities for the qwerty keyboard (these are on a SWE/FIN keyboard so some keys might differ):

2 octaves (trackers have this): bottom oct Z to M (whites) S to J (blacks), top oct Q to P (whites - a little over an octave) 2 to + (blacks)

Octave shift is not standardised. Could be <> (characters, not hard-wired keys because they don't exist on many keyboards) or , and .

One octave (DAWs usually use this): A-Ä whites (probably Ä=; key in english keyboards) W-¨ blacks(two keys left of P)

Octave up and down Z and X. C and V can be used for modulations or velocity. Garageband, Live and Reason all use this method so it could well be called a standard.

Reason layout:

And if you start adding features to the desktop version, why not just make the Mac App store version too? ;)

Ok, on this forum, um… I don't know… Tesco version?

Spacebar would rule.

I have no objection re layout proposed by Stiksi. I think it's even more than I thought about.

What I usually met in those DAWs is pre-defined mapping of keys, while it should be way better to write a versatile reconfigurable one to provide user with flexibility about their native keys (as mentioned O/A-umlaut) and different keyboard layouts.
Definitely, number of most popular presets (like German famous Z versus Y) should be available by default.

Sergos

Keyboard input would also be AWESOME for the iDevice versions for people with bluetooth keyboards. I have the "spider keyboard" one and it's the same size as my iPod touch and fits nicely in pocket with it.

Dunno. To me the lack of keyboard support is the reason it feels more like demo, taste of the real thing before you actually buy it. It's supposed to frustrate you to know how much easier and fun it is to operate the device on the touchscreen. Me, I had to buy i-device to run it properly . . kinda ramped up the price of the software, but still I feel it was worth it. To me iPad has pretty much replaced most of my laptops and desktop (:

I would like to a +1 for this and suggest this layout because in all the apps i have used this is the standard:
z key is c-4
q key is c-5

renoise sunvox lmms fl studio reaper VMPK and maaaaaaaaaaany more use this layout. IT is the standard imho

Yes, there are two standards.
