Is there a way to change the range of notes that your keyboard can play? Or is it only starting at C4? I'm looking for a way to switch the range which would help greatly with creating chords and melodies using only the computer keyboard

[@ProductionDen]

If you right click on the Typing Keyboard to Piano keyboard it will give you options for the ranges on the keyboard. You can go down to C3 or up to C5.

[@EarDrumBeatz]

@David Stadium it's transpose u mean???

[@songwriter3085]

it's really meaningful with beginer like me🥰

[@pisimoiu4714]

Sir, When I click the record button and plays the cords it doesn't records. Than I hit the space bar on the keyboard and the metronome counts down before record. And also the notes are short on the piano roll after stop recording although the length I pressed was longer. Please advise.

[@Kurty94]

I have the same problem. Sometimes it records only one long note, or few really short notes in different places.

[@itsbaleb]

My keyboard not working it’s playing everything in the channel rack

[@christodinesh8575]

Dear sir, My computer key board not referring to "BLACK keys". Please explain how to do it. Probably I made a mistake.

[@ProductionDen]

The row with the letters/characters ASDFGHJKL:" would be a "black keys row", and the row the numbers 1234567890 would be another "black keys row". hope that answers your question.

[@NirurePag]

Thanks man! Really helpful! :)

[@rofu60]

Hello Den, is this also possible on an Android phone with "FL Studio Mobile" installed and a PC keyboard connected via an OTG cable? Thanks for your feedback in advance

Hello, since I plugged a midi keyboard the pc keyboard doesn't work anymore. What should I do? Even after press typing keyboard button nothing happens. Help

[@elmugid]

Thanks for the tips

[@LoganD]

hey is there a way to change what key plays what note

[@ProductionDen]

There are a few options that you can change if you right click on the Typing Keyboard to Piano Keyboard icon. You can set it to be a certain scale, or even to play chords. Mess around with it, it's a lot of fun.

[@abcity]

I don't know why my my black key is not playing. Only white keys are playing in the piano. Any suggestions?

[@christodinesh8575]

Same for me. If you get the answer please let me know.

[@ProductionDen]

Are you on a laptop?

[@ompatil5833]

I have a doubt! If i am simply pressing keys on my pc keyboard linearly it plays C scale right. Now can i replace the scale so that i still play keyboard keys linearly but now it's let's say Em

[@ProductionDen]

If you right click on the typing to midi keyboard button near the transport controls you can set it up to play certain scales. I haven’t messed with that too much.

Hello. When i press q mt note is C4, how to change it to c5 like normal?

[@huaweiprime6204]

I have broken 3 keyboards with this technique obviously it was great 😂

[@ProductionDen]

Oh no! Sorry you have gone through that many keyboards. Just remember that the keyboard doesn’t register velocity, so you can get away with playing a lot softer.

[@greennature1045]

nice video sir :)

[@bigsqueeze7231]

How do I move C5 to be in the middle of the keyboard instead of at the end where the Q key is?

[@iloveeverything4380]

Does anyone know if you can do this but somehow keep the notes to an exact spot when doing it and keep the notes an exact length so it'd be a perfect melody without needing to adjust/change it afterwards???

[@rapdev9296]

I have a question, how to play sharp notes of higher octave bc its only 4 octave lol

everytime i change some presets of the plugin,the keyboard doesnt work anymore,do you know how i can make it always work changing the presets or the settings?

While recording, It is actually recording the noise that we are having in our room, Is there any way that we can record only midi that we are playing through our laptop's keyboard?

[@riothelsing]

Can I do this with Kit's, and samples because I've been trying to do this for the past month. Do the sounds need to be midi?

[@ProductionDen]

Yes. There is actually an FPC setting that you can load up. If you right click on the typing keyboard to midi button you should find that option.

[@riothelsing]

@@ProductionDen Wheree do I find the FPC setting?

Thanks for the video. I'm on a laptop and the keys don't correspond as shown. Is there a way to change this?

Hey Mik. Right click on the Typing Keyboard to Midi Keyboard and make sure you have the "layout piano" selected. This should make sure that it works the way it does in the video.

[@WibisonoDanu]

Do you know how to use and set EZ drummer with qwerty keyboard?

[@ProductionDen]

With most drumming VSTs you can open the piano roll to figure out what keys correspond to the drum. Then you can figure out which keys should work. In most cases you can reprogram what note triggers the drum. Put it in a range that you can use with the keyboard.

[@MihirHimself]

@@ProductionDen looking forward for the tutorial :)

[@linblosune]

Can this principle be be applied to a Virtual Organ software?

[@ProductionDen]

Absolutely. As long as you are bringing it into FL Studio as a third party instrument and can use the piano roll, then you can use the keyboard setup on your computer.

[@naturalfreedom9752]

How would I know the chord triad is major and minor...which letters you press?

[@kinnotagolino2825]

search for an fl studio keyboard chart in google for which letters to press, also major and minor is basically basic music theory it is not something that the software provides for, however, there is an option wherein you are guided by a scale in the piano roll

[@aymanbasheer5114]

Sir in my system .. its working like fpc ..which mean only single note is playing per plugin !! Help !!

[@vrdnprvchk]

same thing

[@ProductionDen]

right click on the Typing Keyboard to Midi Keyboard, and then make sure the layout mode is in Piano.

[@27scole]

I'm confused, some chords won't play and some tones over certain chords. Could someone confirm this issue or knows what it is? I mean from my feel it should make no difference because input is input but would be good to know whether it might be the keyboard.

[@ProductionDen]

You may need to check which layout your keyboard is currently setup for. You can right click on the Typing Keyboard to Midi keyboard tool, and then make sure that the option for layout is selected as "layout piano". That should make the keys do the same thing as shown in the video.

[@27scole]

@@ProductionDen I already have this selected, it's very strange, Idk what it is. But thanks a lot. You know I kind of felt there is no solution for this. I even could swear that it initially worked out and then at some point I couldn't play a E-minor chord anymore, or I can't play a d note over an A-Minor chord for example, such things. And it makes no sense to me. Why would a simple input not be registered, I feel it doesn't matter if it's a mid keyboard or a pc-keyboard. I have a sorts of cheap keyboard but it's still kinda regular thing. I mean do you think it could be because of a cheaper keyboard and that it would work out if I get a midi keyboard?

[@ProductionDen]

I guess one other thing to check would be the settings on the instrument you are using. Some instruments are setup so that you can only play one note at a time. If that’s the case it would prevent you from being able to play chords. Just a thought.

[@27scole]

@@ProductionDen So you have no idea what it could be. I feel the same and I think that is right. It should work. /No, it's true for every instrument.
