Piano Key (C0-B9)

[tkna91]

I want to use a piano keyboard with my preferred layout by utilizing key remapping software.
For example, as follows:

• Use a single keyboard to assign all note keys, including A,F,K,;,1,4,8,-. Switch octave states using layers in key remapping software.
• Prepare two keyboards, each with five columns of 12 keys per row, to play all 120 notes without transposition or Octave shift. This setup is vastly more space-efficient than a standard 120-key MIDI keyboard (I've never heard of one, but perhaps some manufacturer produces it).

If no API exists, I will write a request.

@tkna91 i need more details about this.
do you mean that a pc keyboard would have qwertyuiop for one row of octave
asdfghjkl for one row of octave
zxcvbnm for one row of octave?

in this case, please use this experimental thing and report back to me how you experience it.

I'd like to try that later, but what I'm thinking here is binding each of the 120 keys from C0 to B9 individually to any key I choose.
If there's an API for playing piano keys, I think the implementation would be simple and relatively effortless.
The desired key layout varies depending on the situation, so I want to be able to freely change it using key remapping software.
Therefore, it's perfectly fine to assign C4 to an odd mapping like Shift+Ctrl+Meta+\—one that's unused and awkward to use.
Since I'm assuming the use of key remapping software, there's no need in this case for things like assigning piano keys to ASDF when another dialog has focus.
