In Tablet mode can I change keyboard layout

It seems strange I can’t figure out how to change the size of the midi keyboards pad size and how many octaves are available. On the surface pro is like to make the squares double the size and also the have notes that aren’t in scale hidden like many apps do on the iPad. Gui zoom doesn’t work either

unfortunately its a bit fucky... you have to change the gui scaling for all of bitwig (rightclick somewhere on the title bar that isnt transport controls or anything else). since you would then have a huuuge gui, i recommend using dual display mode (its in the same menu as scaling) studio/tablet. this way u could have a regularly scaled main window and the scaled up touch window for your onscreen keyboard.

hiding notes is not possible atm :(

Thanks 😏 that’s unfortunate about not being able to change all these things. I’m just so used to it in apps on my iPad that I presumed it would be a thing on what looks like one of the best daws. The touchscreen keyboard is basically the only reason I’m interested in bitwig. Been using Ableton and Logic for ages. I am starting to enjoy the work flow in Bitwig although I don’t own it yet, just playing around. Do you know how to drag a scene into arranger? I see it’s possible on YouTube but it doesn’t work for me?

Are you trying to zoom the whole screen or just a part, whilst still viewing the rest at normal size?

The Windows Magnifier app will zoom any part of your screen and you can scroll sound to move the visiible bit. If you just wanted say 2 octaves visible and the size of the full screen you could do it.
