Keyboard Keyboard
Screenshots
With Keyboard Keyboard, you can play keyboard with your keyboard! Map almost any key on your keyboard to a musical command: play a note, play multiple notes, play a chord, transpose the keyboard, activate the sustain pedal, and more.
Use your Mac's built-in IAC Driver to record MIDI into a DAW (such as Logic or Garage Band) or play a softsynth with your computer's keyboard. You can also connect an external MIDI device and manipulate it with Keyboard Keyboard.
You can play and record up to four channels of MIDI simultaneously. Set a different General MIDI sound for each voice in the app, or use the instruments built into a DAW or softsynth. Each voice has its own velocity, transposition, and pan control.
The user interface includes ten MIDI continuous controller sliders, a pitch bend slider, and a pressure (aftertouch) slider.
MIDI data that can be sent to other software or devices includes:
- Note On / Note Off
- Continuous Controller
- Pitch Bend
- Aftertouch
Program change information is not recorded.
To map a key on the computer keyboard to a note on the piano, click the key on the interface, then click the note on the piano or play a note with an external controller. To map a key to multiple notes, click the notes on the piano with the Command key pressed. To map a key to a chord, continuous controller, transposition value, or velocity modifier, right-click the key and select the desired assignment.
Built-in presets include: Piano and Guitar, Piano and Bass, Guitar and Bass, Piano, Guitar, Drums, and Random.

Walt Garage, 27.07.2022Not helpfulIt has some nice sounds, but as soon as I attempted to modify anything, the keyboard stopped producing sounds. The only midi out I could get was the first slider. Show more

JohnnyHands, 09.02.2022Getting MIDI out was a struggleYou need to figure out that the text "MIDI Destination: none" is actually a pop-up menu that will reveal 'IAC Driver: Bus 1' which you can choose. If you Show more
