This synth has a virtual keyboard, which is accessible via clicks of the mouse and via the keyboard of my computer. When tuning parameters of the synth it is often of help to hear, what the current parameter does with the sound. All parameters of ZynAddSubFX are altered via the computer mouse. Doing so will change the window focus of the virtual keyboard to the parameter window and hitting the keyboad of the computer then will have no effect (the keypress is directed to the window with the parameter knobs, which has the focus now). Zynaddsubfx will accept input from midi devices also. I am no midi expert at all. :) Is there any "Virtual keyboard" or anything else, which can be used to interpret keyboard (computer) events to midi somthing and send them to ZynAddSubFX? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Best regards, mcc
