Software MIDI keyboard, like in Logic 8 and onwards?
« on: September 18, 2014, 06:14:17 AM »
Hi!

Does anyone know of some software for Mac OS 9 that turns your keyboard into a MIDI keyboard, like in Logic 8 and onwards?
It would be great to have something like this for the PowerBook when traveling.

Any ideas? :)

Reason has it built in but not sure whether it was implemented in os9 or OSx
I cannot check my os9 machines they're in storage for the moment.

there should be a little max app in dr. bu folder, which a friend of mine made like 100 years ago.

i could also give you my (full range 128 keys) keyboard pluggo, but that wont work in logic i am afraid, not even in OSX.

You can create a Keyboard object in the Environment and make the Environment window very, very small.  Then make objects in that window locked and just keep that tiny Environment window with your tiny keyboard showing whereever you need it.

I usually just find the existing Keyboard object in the "Ports" window (or whatever) and then size the window around it and keep it up with my other windows (Arrange, etc).
