Title: Hidden feature in Saurus v1.1: hide the keyboard
Post by: Markus Krause on January 11, 2013, 11:25:04 AM

The keyboard can be hidden by placing SaurusHideKeys.cfg in plugin directory.

On PC:

Place any file called SaurusHideKeys.cfg in the same directory as the Saurus.dll
This is mostly C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VstPlugins\

On Mac:

Place any file called SaurusHideKeys.cfg to Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/


Then restart Saurus.

If you delete the file the keyboard will reappear again.

In my life I have never seen a software dev as responsive to customer requests as you guys. A huge "THANK YOU" for the work you've done on Saurus in general, and in v1.1 in particular!

Yes, Saurus uses the CFG file, Rayblaster and Nemesis have a hide keyb. option in their Setup menu. For Firebird it's on its backpanel (setup button)

Gladiator2 and ElectraX don't have a keyboard so obviously it's not available in those :)

What WHAT?! I demand that they get a keyboard as well, each, so I can complain about wanting to hide them!  :laugh:
