1 year ago This is a JUCE-based component separate from Manhattan plugin that emulates external MIDI input, rather than being an in-program keyjazz/note entry facility.
You can use external MIDI input in two ways:
- To trigger code associated with MIDI Events (default) - press Ctrl-Alt-= or Cmd-Alt-= to open MIDI Events code editor in Manhattan, which allows you to write code that handles Note On, Note Off, and MIDI CC messages.
- To enter notes in the pattern, if you have switched the Note Entry Mode to "MIDI Input" - cycle the current mode using Ctrl-Shift-M or Cmd-Shift-M. There is also an Alphanumeric mode for users not familiar with the piano.
When used as an AU/VST plugin, Manhattan is a software instrument, so you can also place notes and other MIDI events in the DAW's MIDI/Instrument track to provide such input.
Because this is a JUCE component, it uses a different single-register, virtual piano layout. However, it is only really designed to be used with the mouse for simple tests - it is not for key jazz/performance. In any event, I have changed the mapping to match the two-register, Manhattan layout.
@esaruoho In the Audio Settings keyboard, C is the keyboard key A. C# is keyboard key W. and so on. I’ve never seen anything like that within Manhattan/ReViSiT before. what is the functionality / use of the keyboard in the Audio Settings dialog?
