How about being able to use MIDI controllers. There are plenty of $500 to $50 boxes out there to
make life easier.
Take a $70 unit like the Behringer X-Touch Mini. It has two MIDI layers, with each layer having 16
buttons, eight rotary knobs, a push-action on each knob and one touch-sensitive(though
non-motorized) fader.
All it does is send MIDI CC on the knobs and midi notes on the buttons. Perfect for customization,
which is why I make extensive use of such units in Reaper already.
Most of these units come with editor software to change the MIDI CC and Notes they send, so it's a
breeze to keep multiple of them around if you like.
The Reaper midi-learn box could be a good place to look at how to do the setup. You're literally
responding to 3-byte messages from a midi device.
That would be very useful. Playback/pause on a button. Speed on a knob. Left/Right selection
boundaries on another bunch of knobs. Spot, tag and transfer to other buttons. Scroll through
results with a knob.
Nathaniel, what do you think ?
Take care
