***This is a repost because I accidentally posted it in the General Discussion category instead of Suggestions.***
My suggestion is that there should be a way for us to have access to play notes on the computer keyboard that correspond to all of the notes on the drumkits (specifically 909 and 808).
Right now, the lowest note playable on the computer keyboard is C3. This corresponds to the Open Hi-Hat in the 808 kit, and the Mid Tom 1 in the 909 kit. This means that there is no way to play the kick drum and snare drums with the computer keyboard.
Potentially I think it could be solved if there were specific "Keys" to choose for the drum kits, and that would mean that the computer keyboard would specifically let you play just the notes in the drumkit -- because as it stands, whichever Key you are playing in will inevitably skip some of the drum sounds and not let you play the whole kit.
Additionally, another possible idea would be to have an option to alter the octave that your keyboard is corresponding to.
