DP Keyboard Layout?

Post by builder »

I remember months, maybe years, ago someone mentioned they were working on a keyboard layout sticker for DP. Anyone have one or a suggestion on how to make one?

I stumbled across this some time ago:

I'd hoped they'd get around to making a DP keyboard by now, but once again it's all PT, Logic, Cubase/Nuendo, and Sibelius. I was actually surprised they skipped Finale as well. Hmm.

This company does customs. I'm not sure how interchangeable their keys would be with an Apple keyboard, but any reasonably priced USB keyboard could work:

Here's an approach which may have a broader appeal:

It's a start...

I could have sworn such a thing existed and that I stumbled across it at one time.

Maybe one of those vendors that does keyboard overlays for PhotoShop? I don't think those are the same companies that do the ones for Logic, and I think they cover more apps.

I'm not inclined to spend time on this right now, but if I chance upon one of the keyboard overlay vendors' info sheets while sorting through some of my product lit sheets this weekend, I'll be sure to watch for DP overlays and report back if I find anything.
