willdoweuk Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Hi, I hope this is the correct place to post - I believe this falls under 'sound'. I use Multiplay for our sound cues and it seems to work pretty well. However, the laptop I am using has quite a fiddly keyboard. So my plan was to get a cheapo usb keyboard and solder buttons to the connectors for the space bar (go), escape key (stop) and hopefully a fade button. I was just wondering if anyone knows if there's a key which can be set for the fade button. Or if there is an easier way to make an external control device? (the laptop doesn't have a serial port) Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomG Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Serial to USB Converter, if there is already a pre-made Serial product out there, that you like, they retail for about £20 from places like Maplins and CPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrummerJonny Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 ...or as the keys are assignable in multiplay, a small usb numpad like this? http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=usb+numpad&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=629382098463607895&sa=X&ei=QHGATcL2A8aqhAfW3eWtBw&ved=0CCMQ8wIwAA# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timtheenchanteruk Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I use a numpad similar to the one linked to, but mine has a trackball on it as well. I have assigned, enter=play, esc=stop, backspace=fade. I have toyed with the idea of removing the rest of the buttons, and making a plastic gard to go over the space, so it would have only the keys I use/need.
