[LMMS-devel] MIDI keyboards handling - 2

[Zbigniew <zbi...@gm...>]

 Oh, I forgot to add description for proposed improvement "what in
case user wants to control more synhesizers at once with MIDI
keyboard".

 Well, there could be additional checkbox added within the field
"Enable MIDI input", described e.g. like "Keep keyboard connected when
minimized" (or the like). My assumption is, that the user in most
situations uses the keyboard to control the synthesizer with its
window currently open. And when there's a need to use it with MIDI
keyboard even when minimized, it can be set using such additional
button. Since such situation are less frequent, than using just one
synthesizer, presently visible on the screen - it can save to the user
many mouse-clicks, and menu unwrapping.

 BTW: there is a flaw currently - when pressing any key on MIDI
keyboard _before_ it gets connected by "Enable MIDI input", there is a
sound generated after successful connection. IMHO the selected
synthesizer should disregard any previous notes during the moment of
keyboard connection (is it a problem with any buffer?).
