When I try this I just get a dull thud rather than a note. Could you show it more detail? Should I send a video of my failed attempts? January 16, 2023 at 11:34 pm #55740 AndrewKeymaster Yes, please upload a video. I’d be happy to take a look 🙂 January 17, 2023 at 5:54 am #55747 garryrowParticipant Actually I got up this morning and was able to do it. I was just moving my thumb too slowly. When f I put a bit more “zip” into it sounds better. I might still upload a video if I can’t oerfect it . Cheers January 17, 2023 at 9:38 pm #55754 AndrewKeymaster Sounds good! If you need me, I’ll be here 🙂 Author Posts Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) You must be logged in to reply to this topic. Log In Username: Password: Keep me signed in Log In
