I've looked around too, thinking I could implement such things in a program language. Actually I thought of testing a little in Python without knowing much of the language. Earlier I have made small apps in Shell C and Ruby, so maybe the jump to Java isn't too hard at all. I'm aware that I have to contact TC to get some information regarding the midi signals used in the pedal. I'll give it a try to see if I'm up to the task getting the basics right, thanks. /Sv-e _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
