You can also take a hint from Logic Pro 7, which uses a keyboard- based keyboard, if you see what I mean:

(see CAPS LOCK KEYBOARD about halfway down this page:

http://www.apple.com/logicpro/productivity.html)

This is much easier to play than a mouse-based keyboard.

Edwin:

I don't believe there's a ready-made solution publicly available (and if there is a commercial one, it's unlikely you'd get someone to 'donate', especially if you were going to redistribute it in your own application - you'd have to license it).

All isn't lost, however. Through custom NSViews (or even NSControls), you could likely create one yourself. Heck, even using just an NSView, drawing an image of a keyboard on it, then defining tracking rectangles would get you most of the way there.

  Hope this helps.

Hi,

Although I know my question is likely to be answered in the negative (or
not at all) I thought I'd ask anyway: Does anybody know of any Cocoa
piano keyboard controls? (ie, shows a keyboard, user clicks on a key,
control returns the note name) Searches have so far not been successful.


This is for research purposes in case anybody knows of a commercially-made
widget and feel like donating the use of it to me:)
