I believe they are usable as of now in ardour(people are using exactly bfc2000 and discussing it on the mail-lists), but I'd like to know some more technical details about these kinds of things, I don't generally know much about any kids of MIDI devices, I've never needed them - but a midi mixing control board would be useful. But besides this, any knob or fader with a midi connection are definitely and concretely useful in for example pure-data. If you build your own patches you can map the real faders to faders in pd with little effort. m?n 2004-09-27 klockan 21.22 skrev Mark Knecht: > Dirk Jagdmann wrote: > >> I've seen the BFC-2000 looks promising but why an USB interface anyway? > > > > > > I have a BCF-2000 and am very satisfied.
