My M-Audio Axiom 49 just died. And I have four live shows scheduled next week (Saturday,
Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday). I don't have time to get it repaired, and I can't
afford to replace it.
To get me through these shows, I can borrow a MIDI keyboard, with just keys and no
buttons/knobs/sliders, which means I'm going to have to build a GUI myself to use on
the laptop or touchscreen for controlling parameters.
Lars's "midicontroller" thing looks very cool.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/midicontrol/
I'm kind of excited by the possibilities of building a custom GUI that can control all
my synths. midicontroller can do it, but it'd be easier to do with OSC than MIDI.
PD is a natural for this, but I like GTK widgets better. And the PD sliders might not be
big enough for touchscreen use.
Is there anything like this "midicontroller" app that uses OSC instead?
OK, I'm going to go fire up glade now :-)

Too bad. Maybe you can rent one from a local music-shop?

The pd-sliders are not fixed in their size. Just open the properties and make
them bigger (first two entries on the top if I remember correctly).

I think I will have some kind of OSC message sending app in ofqf[1] for the
next release...

Hi, I am a .signature virus. Please copy me into your ~/.signature and send me
to all your contacts.
After a month or so log in as root and do a rm / -rf. Or ask your
administrator to do so...

Nice, thanks!
Also, I'm finding the stuff that Lars is working on with dbus, to be intriguing too.
My fantasy now is a keyboard controller that has a control surface and keyboard much like
the Novation, but has an 10/100/1000 Ethernet, WiFi, or BlueTooth interface instead of
MIDI or USB, and communicates using dbus and/or OSC natively. The advantage is that you
wouldn't need weird SysEx hacks or proprietary software in order to make use of the
"automap template" feature that the Novation does. A keyboard like that could
run off of a Gumstix running linux, so it most definitely will get developed by someone,
someday.
Actually, now that I think of it, instead of knobs/buttons/sliders, a 640x480 touchscreen
might be a better bet, and multitouch once the price of those comes down.

I bought a Novation Remote 61 SL. Under *warranty*.
It rules.
The UI on this thing is AMAZING. It's got two 2x256 character LCD displays. It's
*verbose*, designed for people who understand and remember words better than numbers. Very
clear. I counted a total of 78 fully-assignable buttons/knobs/sliders/rotaries/pedals.
It also seems *much* better made than any of M-Audio's cheap plastic crap. The
keyboard action feels like a 1980's-era Roland or Yamaha synth.

the
I was going to suggest Khagan, despite it's lack of recent releases
it is the tool for just this job. Input to OSC And if you've got a
graphics tablet it is pretty cool. http://khagan.berlios.de i thought
it was not that handy so the project is pretty dead.
