assigning keyboard keys
hi,
i was wondering how to assign keyboard (askii) key to control stuff in pd. i know in max its like select and the number of the key and there's some other thing that has to be patched between that and what's being controlled but i know it's probably different here. i searched the topic a few ways and didn't get anything but you guys seem to be pretty knowledgeable so i was wondering if you could help me. i wanna turn bangs on and off.
thanks

Re: assigning keyboard keys
[key] is the main object. There's also [keyname] and [keyoff] (the last one i'm not too sure about, but when you right click the [key] and open the help you'll find everything you'll need). Use [key] in combination with [sel] to route different keys to different actions.

Re: assigning keyboard keys
[keyup] rather than [keyoff], domien!
LyteBryte, do not be fooled by domien's silky words,it's [keyoff].
:p
any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
