Possible to change the root note of keyboards?

[svervs]

Of course, I'm a bad/lazy keyboard player ... So I was wondering if it's possible to script remap a keyboard to have the white keys only used to play different scales?

midiScaleChanger can do that ...

"Transposes notes by individual scale degrees and/or globally, to change one scale into another. Among other things, this allows you to play any scale using only the white keys."

Most keyboard controllers have a built-in transpose function, so as long as you are only playing major, natural minor, and the seven main modes, that should be adequate. Which keyboard are you using?

Thanks for this. Their site seems to be down, but from what found out, this is a VST, right? Doesn't this mean the recorded notes are the pressed key, and it just get's transposed through the plugin after recording?

It's an Alesis V25. Yes it does have a transpose setting, it's just very cumbersome to change it, open application, get preset, change, save, send. That's why I was thinking this would be a perfect uses of scripting.
