I'm not quite sure what you mean, kris.

3-axis require three dimensions :)

Or it would mean you have an additional state for a 2D pad (something like a pressure pad below) to get 4 values. Maybe just a simple button would be okay, too. You know: without button -> CC#20/21, with button -> CC#22/23...

Or you just have to do some math to get the values you'd like to have. Eg you could split up the pad in a diagonal (not really, just mathmatically ;D ), that would mean you have two more axis and could extract four values, but then again for the price of non-simultaneousity.

You could take a look at my handTracker (in userprojects->speakJet thread), but it'll take some weeks until I cleaned up my sources and you still would have overwork it a lot, 'cause even if it looks 3D, it's still 2D :)

Like cimo, I too thought about the airFX? Unfortunately it has no MIDI-connections.

Cheers,

Michael

thanks for the replies

  you get some joysticks that rotate as well as move in two axis ive  found the apem series 5000

  ive attatched the pdf but i dont think these are compatible with midi-box as these only have 5k pots attached

  i didnt get a price either

i could all ways use two  joysticks side by side to  control one thing but this would take both hands

 

  as to why  id want this video has a lot 3 axis parameters RGB etc so it would be handy 

  trackballs could be an option as could virtual controls on touch screens

  the idea of the joystick with button is a good one as well

regards kris
