Hi and welcome to the Magix Community,

Select an instrument and open it. Open the on-screen keyboard from the tab at the top of the Media Pool (bottom window in MMM). Play a key on the on-screen keyboard with your mouse. You will see the computer keyboard equivalents on the on-screen keyboard.

Now play on your computer keyboard. You can change octaves by clicking on the up/down arrows at the left just above the on-screen keyboard.

Each time, you need to get into computer keyboard mode or else the program thinks that you want to use the shortcuts.

Since you are new, take a look at my getting started tutorial.

Thank you so much for your respons and taking the time to make a tutorial for everyone new. I saw the tutorial and i helped alot and I read the message you game me. But I am still in a pickle. When I dont have a instrument on the keyboard  I can freely use the keys on my computer and it works. But once I put a insturment on I cant use it. Also I have another small issue. When I click on a VTS it says that I dont have enough ram to open it and I only have 60% of ram to use. And after the message it will open up and I can use it. So I am not sure if that is normal. Becuase I ahve 6 gb of ram and I useally have around 60% of ram to be used and I close everything out when I use Magix.  Thank you so much.

Hello,

How can I change octaves in 2014 version, I do not have the up/down arrows?

Thank you.
