My latest experiment with my control surface is a PD canvas where each object has a number of parameters that get mapped to the knobs and sliders when the object is clicked on, allowing me to quickly tweak large numbers of short events with up to 40 parameters (four switchable banks of 8 knobs + one bank of 8 sliders), each parameter having a 14 bit resolution. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
