Stop. scons: building terminated because of errors. Anyways,i almost started writing a software just like yours as i was inspired by SC3's MouseX and MouseY UGens. But you were quicker :) As i cannot test your app atm, i just leave some random ideas here which you maybe consider worth integrating into your app (maybe you already implemented some of them). - Read the mouse and keyboard regardless of the window focus. This enables twiddling with other knobs in other apps without having to switch focus all the time (of course twiddling other knobs will also generate midi events then, but often this is done in a fiddling phase anyways, so it doesn't hurt. - use a bunch of shortcuts to do certain stuff (again regardless of window focus) - read/ignore mouse/keyboard - grab/ungrab mouse/keyboard (if ungrabbed, but reading is on, the mouse/keys will be free to do other stuff while still generating midi events. I know this is possible as SC3's MouseX and MouseY do it - toggle configurable midi setups (as to which controllers are mapped to the mouse axes, midi channel, etc) - use the scrollwheel, too Have fun, Flo -- Palimm Palimm! http://tapas.affenbande.org
