Notes restart when using computer keyboard to play #168

Closed Davvos11 closed 6 years ago

Davvos11 commented 6 years ago

When I am using the standalone version of Helm and I use the keys on my computer keyboard to play, the note starts over after a short while. However, if I just hit any other key (does not mather which one) it stops repeating and the note stays on like it's supposed to. I've worked around this by creating a script that spams the spacebar, but this is far from optimal. I am using Arch Linux and the latest version of helm-git from the AUR. A video in which I show the bug

I observed the same in "standalone Version" and inside my DAW (Renoise). Not only with helm but with every instrument. In my opinion it's not a bug. Just the "keyboard repaeater" of your OS / Desktop Environment. This was one reason for my final decision to buy a small Midi-Keyboard.

Yeah I think this an OS specific thing. If not it's a JUCE related bug because I just get key press/release events from them. Closing.
