hey Ico,
thanks for the response. aside from what sounds like a bummer of a
setup, how has it performed for you? in other words, would you buy it
again?
thanks,
j.c.w.

Hi,
I installed icubex in my studio and it was quite a hassle. Included
software that came with icubex is outdated and does not compile, Paul
Davis's generous contribution looks like a great editor, but it depends
on defunct Quasimodo's libs so without some serious hacking, chances are
you won't be able to get it up-and-running (I did not have the time to
give it a shot at it, but I did spend a good amount of time trying to
compile proper libs without success). I also had a number of problems
trying to get the icube working under MacOS9. Finally, I resorted to
Windows (gasp!) where using the provided editor I hard-coded each of the
inputs as one type of the controller MIDI message, and after that the
thing worked like a charm in Pd. You just have to make sure to remember
which pins are used for which controllers, otherwise you might get messy
MIDI output.
Hope this helps!
Ico

Subject: [linux-audio-user] iCubeX experiences?
greetings all!
i am a bit of a controller freak and have just started looking into
the
iCubeX system
(http://www.infusionsystems.com/index.shtml). i used to
roll all of my own control devices, but i am a bit short on time as of
late (full time jobs tend to do that). i'd like to give this thing a
chance.
i see that paul davis (you rock, dude) wrote a gnu/linux editor for
the
device that controls a limited subset of its
features, but it looks
like
the software hasn't been touched for some
time.
i am interested in using it with pd primarily and possibly jmax. my
question is this: does anyone out there have any experience to share
with me re: using this gadget with gnu/linux /only/. i don't do
windows
at home, so i'd like to know what i can
expect.
anywho, enough of that...so, anyone know anything about this doo-dad?
thanks!
