    I just tried changing my system language to German and rebooting. The langauge changed but none of the keyboard maps changed.

    I've tried every single key on my keyboard, both with and without the shift command and nothing will octave shift down on an american apple macbook keyboard.

    Indeed german and english keyboards are very different. Didn't know before - thought it was only Z and Y changed.
    I have sent it to centercode. Perhaps there is someone who is willing to answer.

    i've also gotten stuck not being able to shift the octave down - i'm using a mac book pro.

    is there really no way to do it?

    I have put in a support request to NI on this, referencing this thread.

    It would be fantastic to have this mystery solved. Something so simple that used to work in the past...

    I've checked a lot of old manuals - no descriptions about this shortcuts!

    very old shortcuts were „<” and „>” when i remember right.
    In R4 you could transpose +24 with SHIFT ⬆︎(cursor up?) and -24 with CTRL + SHIFT ⬆︎. hmm?

    PS: There is an interesting post from arachnaut about shifting and changing velocity (have tested on my mac) velocity change on german keyboard by ”ß” and „´”.
    And here is one from Paule.

    I tested in R5: SHIFT + Querty-key +24, SHIFT+ALT+querty-key -24
    f.i

    • q=midi pitch 60
    • SHIFT+q = midi pitch 84
    • SHIFT+ALT+q = midi pitch 36.
    doesn't work in R6.

    Nevertheless: isn't it better to buy a very cheap usb-midi-keyboard than to use querty??? f.i. AKAI LPK 25

    Heh, I have a reasonably good MIDI keyboard sitting next to me, and I still often just use querty, particularly when testing/developing

    I own no other hardware than pc, keyboard, screen, speakers, headphone and external hdd's.
    It's enough for a non musician.
    A little space is there on my desk for a rubber roll keyboard - I think it's a not usable gadget!

    Do you know to hold a key for long sound is: press Q and move the mouse arrow on the taskbar - left Q and the sound stay there. While Q is sounding you can change snaphots etcpp.

    A reply (finally) from NI on a report of this (no octave down key in US):

    This issue seems to be caused by a bug in the current version of the application.

    Thanks for your report. We have referred this issue (R6-2343) to our developers and will try to fix it in a future version, but we cannot recommend a workaround at this time.
