Do I need a number pad for Logic?

[John Isige]

Hi all.

I'm thinking of getting a new keyboard, I keep not hitting space hard enough on this one. It has a numpad, which I never use. I know I could turn it on to get some extra Voiceover keyboard shortcuts, but I deliberately haven't been using it, in case I switched keyboards and didn't have one.

Right now I'm using the standard keyboard shortcuts in Logic, but I might install the Logic Ninja stuff from logic.band at some point. Then of course, there's Logic Magician as well. Do I need a numpad for either of those? I'm not doing a lot of stuff with data where a number pad would make sense traditionally, and I seem to be getting along OK without using it for Voiceover commands. So if I can get a smaller keyboard without it, I may as well save a bit of desk space.

i think you will not need it.

i need my num.pad just in sibelius, and because u r askingabout logic, then for sure you will not need it
