The original page at tapas.affenbande.org is gone but the github code still compiles and works. I just tested and it emits chosen MIDI CC as soon as the mouse pointer moves. 2. QLC+ <a href="http://www.qlcplus.org/">http://www.qlcplus.org/</a> a program to control lighting for clubs, theater etc. It features a virtual console, i.e. a canvas to place widgets like sliders, knobs etc., including an X/Y area to control moving lights. It can be configured to send MIDI data instead of DMX, but might be tricky to set up if you're not familiar with the program. I can assist in getting this to work if you're interested, publically here on the list or via private mail. Edgar </body> </html>
