[pygame] Re: Pygame not handling keyboard tracking correctly

[diliup gabadamudalige <diliupg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Pygame experts/enthusiasts around the world,

Having looked at some possible solutions on stackoverflow I optimized the code to this

#------------------- play keyboard via computer keyboard -------------------

if event.type is KEYDOWN:

x = event.unicode

if x in KEYLIST:

v.keyMIDInn = KEY_TO_MIDI_NN[x] + v.octave

player.note_on(v.keyMIDInn, 100,1) Â# play the note

for key in keyboard_full:

if v.keyMIDInn == key.midi_note_no:

key.key_select = True

if event.type is KEYUP:

x = event.unicode

if x in KEYLIST:

v.keyMIDInn = KEY_TO_MIDI_NN[x] + v.octave

player.note_off(v.keyMIDInn, 0,1)

for key in keyboard_full:

if v.keyMIDInn == key.midi_note_no:

key.key_select = False

Still, if I play the keyboard really fast there are stuck MIDI notes and stuck animations.

What could be the reason?

Any help is much appreciated.

Below is my code

the indention is wrong here but in the program it is correct

            if event.type is KEYDOWN:

              Âx = check_chr_key(event.key) if x in KEYLIST: if x in KEY_TO_MIDI_NN: # if key in midi note dict v.keyMIDInn = KEY_TO_MIDI_NN[x] + v.octave player.note_on(v.keyMIDInn, 100,1) # play the note

for key in keyboard_full: if v.keyMIDInn == key.midi_note_no: key.key_select = True if event.type is KEYUP: x = check_chr_key(event.key) if x in KEYLIST: v.keyMIDInn = KEY_TO_MIDI_NN[x] + v.octave player.note_off(v.keyMIDInn, 0,1) for key in keyboard_full: if v.keyMIDInn == key.midi_note_no: key.key_select = False If I play the keyboard leisurely this works fine. But If I play the keyboard really fast

sometimes the MIDI notes get stuck and so does the Animation ( the stuck MIDI note shows the keyboard note as down)

I can't see anything wrong in the code. Is it that Pygame is not scanning the keyboard fast enough? What is the work around to this?
