Guest jmj Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Working with Cubase SX , Nuendo and Wavelab, I dream og this perfect little controller that would work together with keyboard and mouse . All it would need are 3 circular knobs :1 controlling left and right movement of the mouse, a second controlling up an down movement, a thirth replacing + and - of the keyboard .Tried a lot of semi-pro controllers (Mackie, Houston, Radikal): they all give me Not enough and Too much at the same time. I am used to working with mouse and keyboard but I would like more precision and to be able to close my eyes when changing values (like panning, +/- eq and so on) Anyone ?

Lall Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hi JMJ,I don't know if there are some software around allowing the mapping of MIDI messages on Windows events such as mouse move or keyboard click...A possible solution would be to use the USB module and to modify the firmware normally provided with it so that it behaves as a HID instead of a MIDI device. By doing so, Windows could see your device as a keyboard and a mouse at the same time. There is a sample code on the Cypress website (http://www.cypress.com/support/software_download.cfm?objectID=D9D37BC1-AEB0-42E1-A63093AABECD1E69&tid=0AC3D3A6-D363-4D3B-98ACB18079FBE66B) for such a thing.Kind regards,Lall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 HiDon't know exactly what you'r after, but I use a program thats called Girder http://www.girder.nl. This sweet program lets u controll nearly everything in windows and apps from whatever u want. Like IR-remotes, TCP/IP, keyboard, mouse and serial I/O. So if you build the RS232 version of a MBHP, connect it to the COM, get the serial plugin for girder, learn and assign Girder to the functions it should work.Have not tried it myself with the serial. Just a thought, worth a checkout./Wise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basta73 Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 If you take the casing off of your mouse, it should be set up for what you want. The encoders around the mouse are set up in a L-R and up-down configuration, and the wheels are slick, but very responsive to the touch. You could mount the case-less mouse in whatever enclosure you want, and use it through a program like Girder, or bypass some of it's internal circuits, and adapt it to MIOS. Not that I know exactly how, but it seems more than possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basta73 Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Oh, yeah!A scroll mouse is much nicer when gutted (wheel's nicer). But getting 2 encoders out of it is a little bulky, so plan on having a lot of negative space around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
