I couldn´t find something about this.
I would just use a midi keyboard to play notes. (except the A key on the keyboard for the Note-OFF)
There is currently no option to disable computer keyboard note triggering.
Thank you.
I thought i just couldn´t find that option.
what use case does that fulfill?
Could be more keyboard shortcuts to control other stuff then note event pitch.
could be using midicontroller only. or, yes, more shortcuts, which would be pretty hot, actually.
anyway, over the years so many people have asked for disable/enable of the keyjazz. feels like hundreds.
now you mention it, there are a ton of things i need to do all the time (like manually entering volume commands) so if i just used my launchpad for note input i could turn every key into a hotkey.
that’s actually a fairly good idea, have you considered building your own device for hotkeys?
that could be a good idea.
can you give pointers as to what you mean by “manually entering volume commands” - do you want to have something like Q = VolumeX, W = VolumeY, E = VolumeZ? if so, could you let me know some of these, i could script them into Paketti as shortcuts and as midimappings too.
i will send a project file

ok so the snare rolls, i entered those volumes manually.
what’s stopping you from using volume interpolation on these? so 75 and then 10 and select the rows inbetween and do volume interpolation?
i’ll write volume interpolation scripts.
how do you mean volume interpolation?
by volume interpolation i see that you’re doing 75 to 10. this could be done mathematically. i.e. highlight where the 75 is and where the 10 is, but don’t input the rest of the numbers, just run a shortcut and the volume column steps are divided between 75-10 so that the next step will be suitably lower volume than 75, with the aim being to reach the 10th at the end
ok it’s done. it’s called volume interpolation. hit me up on my discord for a download link Lackluster / Esa Ruoho / HLER / Paketti (Renoise tool) ( @esaruoho )
thanks for the idea!
i’ll do another for pan, an for delay.
Thats a nice idea.
But the topic was disable keyboard to stopping play notes with it.
thanks!

no worries. i’ve now done the volume, delay and panning interpolations. these have been on my todo-list for what feels like months so thanks.
but yeah, getting keyjazz disabled or enabled would be good.
Why not use autohotkey, write script remap all keys, you can null them if you want or map anything to them, even multiple key combinations or scripts with delays or some conditionals or doing a lot of other things if you dive deep enough it can even read color of specific pixel on screen and act accordingly.
Script can be toggled by some unused key (for example appskey) or make it so its active only when specific app/process is running.
Mind you I never tried it in context of Renoise, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work? (actually last time I used ahk was to remap stuff in Warcraft3 few years ago)
There might be some issues to solve along the way because script will actually block/override all keystrokes you choose to write scripts for, so like when I was using it for game I had to toggle it manually whenever I wanted to type because otherwise i0ended0up0typing0like0this except I replaced a lot more keys so it was hard to read for other people (so in your case you won’t be able to type at all) and pressing some key I had multi key macro on in windows was possibly dangerous lol once I accidentally launched some exe hundreds of times in 1 sec.
So making it to suspend whenever Renoise is not focused is probably good idea. But you would also need to add manual toggle if you wanted to edit delays/fx columns etc since you need letters for hex. So its not totally hassle free… but some somewhat smart solution maybe could be figured out (maybe suspend while right shift is held down, or maybe numpad0 since its next to arrow keys and pinky could be used for this), I didn’t really think stuff through, just throwing possibility, maybe it will be dead end.
Ah idea is growing in my head, maybe reading pixels could be useful in this context as well, you could read those pixels to id where focus is inside Renoise (whether its pattern editor or matrix or whatever), and whether edit mode is enabled or not and play around that. But yea regardless, mastering usage of this would prolly take a while.
Heavily depends on personal workflow whether this stuff could be even used assuming it even works inside Renoise properly.
you know those editor keyboards that have all of the editing softwares keybinds on the keycaps? that’s what im thinking for renoise, it would be epic to have someone write a tool that makes midi trigger certain hotkeys and stuff, then you buy a launchpad and then assign all the buttons to actions and then put a sticker on the top of each launchpad key that say what they do.
renoise should come out with their own renoise keyboard and then make a load of money of of it.
i’ve been writing midimappings for missing features in renoise, for purely this usecase. that’s why there’s hundreds of midimappings in Paketti, just to accomplish certain things where pressing a midibutton is easier than moving and clicking with a mouse
