Dave,
Doesn't your keyboard have an octave shifter? I have an M-Audio Axiom 61 that allows that. It may not always solve the problem it in many instances it could help.
Hi bapu,
Thanks for the suggesting the idea. My keyboard is really old, a Korg N264. I'm pretty sure I can shift all the keys, but I don't believe that there is any sort of on-board "keyswitch" octave shifter, but I'll look at the manual to double-check. I could possibly add in MIDI plugin that would transpose the unused lower keys downward a bit, or even write such a plugin if nothing exists. I wouldn't be surprised if one of those fancy arpeggiators like Kirnu Cream could do it.
It would have been more straightforward if IK Multimedia had considered this and allowed for it. IMO this is one of those things that we pay programmers to consider when writing software --- part of making it usable.
Thanks again and Regards,
Dave Clark
