According to loopop, the “lowest notes” on an external midi keyboard will trigger tracks 1-6.
I’m trying to make this work with my keyboard without success, which I guess is to do with how low the keyboard can be transposed.
So naturally I looked in the manual to find out how this works (which channel, which notes) but I’m not seeing any reference to this. Is this something that was lost in a firmware update, or is it just an un-documented feature ?
Link to the loopop video (should be at the right timestamp)
Unfortunately, still can’t get this working with my keyboard - seems the Qunexus won’t map the keyboard to notes that low (at least, not while maintaining velocity sensitivity)
Can anyone who uses this facility tell me which keyboards they’re using ? Other than the Keystep, which I can see works from the loopop video.
EDIT: I’d be particularly interested to hear if this works with a Novation launchkey mini (mk3) as I’m considering getting one of those.
Exactly. The lowest note you can send by default is note number 24. You can’t transpose it down to the lowest 2 octaves. It’s documented in the manual, btw.
This seems really a quite strange and unnecessary design decision. I know also many audio applications which maps special functionalities to the lowest notes.
No, It’s down to what the Qunexus sends. I can get the right midi notes (0-5) only by going to what is called the “controller layer” in Qunexus … and the controller layer only sends fixed velocities. I’ve now seen it in a midi app, just to confirm, note on has velocity 127, and note off has 0.
