Ctrl Shift = nothing

Hi all,

Long time Reaktor user (since 2.3), just upgraded to 5.1.4.002

Ctrl Shift no longer takes my computer keyboard down 2 octaves; I get no response at all. Does anyone else experience this or have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike

 

How did you upgrade to 5.1.4? The current version's 5.1.5, and has been for two years. And, the full installers aren't at that version either :~

OK, thanks

 

add a button

I just set up a routine to send -24 to the pitch inputs on my oscillators and hooked it up to a switch. When I want to drop down, I hit the button and there it is. I actually find it works better than having one hand busy holding down control shift. Depending on how you play, I'm sure you can improve on this, it's rather rudimentary, after all.

 

Thanks, I have built octave up & down switches and unswitched transpositions into synths in the past. If I want permanent controls, I'll usually end up building some pitch/gate/trigger macros into it.

I just got so used to the shift and ctrl shift for quick testing while building & tweaking without having to add anything. You can play keys with your right hand and do the shifting with your left; a button requires you to add the button plus a trip to the mouse for each use, on the right side.

Trivial I know, but those seconds add up. Ever want to replace a switch with a button, then need to save the state in thirty-two snapshots, then want to verify a keyboard split is happening in the right place? It's a lot of back and forth; it can feel like the software is trying to slow you down.

Anyway, I guess like anything else, if you get used to it you miss it when it goes.
