You need to get the lower level events, the key-down and key-up
events from the System, not just the character stream. Its very
doable on all platforms.

I don't see how it would be possible if, in OSX, repeated key-downs are exactly equivalent to pressing and releasing the key over and over. Maybe there could be a sort of interrupt/hold time option like with GUI bangs. If there is less than a few milliseconds between events with the same key number, they don't count. -Chuckk

This is a known bug on all platforms, it has to do with the implementation of the [key] object. It would be nice to have it fixed to provide a proper key-down and key-up message instead of that pulsing. Any volunteers?

Hi all, I am being ushered to sleep so I have little time to explain

detail, but hopefully that just means you'll all be spared tedious detail that would obfuscate the issue : ).
I'm trying to build a simple computer-key piano such as the one in Apple's GarageBand using the [key] object, and I'd like to be
able to
hold the keys down rather than have single shot. Key helpfully provides 0/1 notifiers for keydown and keyup - but OS X's built-in key-repeat makes it infinitely retrigger the keypress when
held. The
GarageBand keyboard does not do this, so I was hoping someone might have some ideas on getting around this so I don't have to pull
out my
(rather unportable) midi-controller when I'm patching on the road.
Thanks!
