How to set multiple keys using wininput

[hellishvictor]

Hi, How can be set multiple keys (with values in hexadecimal) using the wininput backend? something like key{0x30..0x5A} for set keys from 0 to Z. Cheers

Hi @hellishvictor, I'm not sure I understand your intent correctly.

To press multiple keys at once, you can map one input channel to many output channels, for example

input-instance.input-channel > wininput-instance.key.{a,b,c,d,e,f}

For backends that work with alphanumeric channels names (such as the wininput backend), the range-style multi-channel specification (x..y) will only work in some cases, when there is a number in the channel name to be incremented.

The list-style multi-channel specification ({a,b,c,d}) will usually be more useful in that case.

Does that help you?

The idea was to map in a single sentence some keys to some midi notes, like numbers 0 to 9 to midi notes 0 to 9 (from C-1 to A-1): in.key{0x30..0x39} > out.ch10.note{0..9) or also: in.key{0..9} > out.ch10.note{0..9) So for example, if the VK_7 is pressed, it will send the midi note number 7, which is G-1.

However, how do I send a midi CC using a combo key (like Shift+F1)? Here is an example: in.key.{shift+F1} > out.ch1.CC7

I'm still waiting for an answers to this: how do I send a midi CC using a combo key (like Shift+F1)? in.key.{shift+F1} > out.ch1.CC7 doesn't work. Cheers.
