How to set virtual keyboard size? #73

Closed georgefst closed 1 year ago

georgefst commented 2 years ago

When running e.g. vdacBy $ atMidi polySynth, is there any way to set the window dimensions? I can't even use my window manager to adjust them. I was hoping to be able to use my touchscreen to play the keyboard, but at the default size the keys are too small for this to really be feasible.

I was hoping that something like vdacBy (def{csdScaleUI = Just (2,2)}) $ atMidi polySynth would double the size, but it does not. No values I put there have any visible effect.

Actually, relatedly, is there any way to configure other parameters? e.g. the number of keys?

I doubt it. Here is docs on virtual keyboard:

I suggest to use some linux virtual keyboard or virtual midi on your system and connect it to csound

Thanks, you're probably right. I'll look in to how to do that.
