Piano keyboard

From MusiCAD

A keyboard file .mck is used to determine which key should correspond to which note when using the computer keyboard as MIDI-input-keyboard. This is completely separate from the hotkey assignment. For non-standard keyboards you will have to make adjustments...

Below is the standard layout for playing a computer keyboard as it would have two small manuals for MIDI input

keyboard input

The spacebar is set as rest input, the function keys and arrow keys keep their normal function.
