Try numpad with numlock switched off. If that doesn’t help, try typing ALT-4-9 for “1”, ALT-5-0 for “2” and so on. (keep pressed ALT while you type numpad-4 and numpad-9, then release ALT). Try with SHIFT-ALT, too.

Where is the Num Lock key?

The NmLk key is located on the top, right hand side of the keyboard. Sometimes it is on the same key as F8, F7, or Insert. Press Fn+F8, F7, or Insert to enable/disable numlock.

Key mixing is made easier for DJs with the Camelot wheel. This shows you every musical key there is.

Who is the founder of the Great get together?

The Great Get Together was an initiative founded in 2017 by the family and friends of Jo Cox in partnership with more than 100 organisations. Since then we’ve heard from all quarters that the Great Get Together shouldn’t be a one-off, so it’s now a project of The Jo Cox Foundation (registered charity number 117083).
