Customize virtual controller key bindings

[Alberto]

Reading the manual I cannot find how to customize the virtual controller - PC keyboard (activated by Alt+0).

I need to map PC keyboard keys to notes different of default (e.g "key A" is mapped to "note C", "key W" is mapped to "note C#", etc). Instead I need to map, e.g. "key Q" to "note C3", "key W" to "note C3#", ..., "key P" to "note B3", etc. Actually every note on a 36 keys toy keyboard modified as in this video 

Can you help please?

The relationship between the PC keyboard and the virtual keyboard in CbB is hard-coded.

It is possible to create translation tables for MIDI note data using the Transpose MFX or a drum map.

Thank you for your kind answer.

I was thinking about some possibility via "Preferences" ->"Keyboard Shortcuts" and in the "Key Bindings" section selecting "Area" as "Virtual Controller".

That is not how the program works.

It seems to me one could wire the keyboard as they choose rather than remap the data in software.

That said, there are a couple of ways to translate MIDI note data in CbB.

Thnk you again.

I think I need to try another solution. Testing I discovered a critical limitation on the PC keyboard controllers chip. It recognise only 5 (sometimes 6) keys press togheter, but a standard cord on a piano keyboard usually as more. Also with the built in virtual controller. I will try to produce MIDI output with Arduino or somthing similiar.
