Surprised I didn;'t find this in my searches...

Would be nice to have a proper PC keyboard module to use for custom input modules and shortcut keys. The current 'Key Pressed' primitive is very limiting because of the way it still reads the keyboard even when the plugin/exe isn't the focused window. In a VST you could close the editor, but for exe's that's no good. The PC Keyboard MIDI input does behave as expected in this regard - any chance of a modified version that just outputs the keypresses rather than MIDI notes? An Integer output for the keycode combined with booleans for the modifier keys (CTRL,ALT etc.) would be lovely.

+1 yes that would be nice! BUT to get around the problem with the focus and the keys it would be also nice to have a AppOpen Primitive that works with EXE´s like the EditorOpen Primitive with Plugins.

You mean a toggle when the application is hidden on the windows task bar?

A few rules keep this a friendly place. You agree to them once.

    Open it in SynthMaker?

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
