How do I switch between keys or go to lower octaves on the ''virtual keyboard' in magix music maker'?

Hey! I've used other programs like FL Studio and MixCraft and they've all had this feature on the virtual keyboard where you can push for an example ''page down'' and the keys would be reassigned to lower keys. The problem I'm having now is that I have to push with the mouse instead of the buttons on my keyboard (computer keyboard) on the lower keys for the drums. Any hotkeys for this?

Further into what I'm talking about: Instead of pushing ''f'' (for an example) and it will play a high note I want it to play a lower note down on the keyboard-

Hi,

Try this: "Page up" and "Page down" move the octave up or down.

Yeah, when I do that it brings up this other control unit instead of moving to the left or right.

Sorry, I missed a step. You have to open the Midi Editor as this only works from there. Each time you press either Pg Up or Dn, the computer keyboard shifts by one octave.

And when you get to middle C, you have to press it twice to move up or down.
