I've just read that it's possible to make supercollider programs controlled by graphics tablets...
I was wondering if anyone knew of any midi yoke type software that allows you to use a graphics tablet to control 2 midi parameters a la Korg kaos Scratchpad.
I have a midi controller already, but I must admit certain effects are easier with a scratchpad. I suppose I could use an XY controller in floops/similair VST plugin, but ideally I want to be able to use the whole area of my pad, not 1 inch squared... I'd also like to be able to do this outside of floops/vst compatible programs.
If anyone knows of one, please let me know. Otherwise I may have to write one as my final year project :)

And actually I want to be able to assign more than 2 (xy) parameters, I want 4 or even 8. organised in a "star" shape
Ignore the " " " s...
a b c ""\|/ "d---e ""/|\ f g h
You could even assign opposites type effects on opposite corners of the star...

Supercollider is a Mac audio software language I think, I don't know a great deal about it- just that it supports graphics tablets :)

Midiman Surface One is the closest midi controller I can think of

Thing is, a piece of software as I described could do the same job with a £40 graphics tablet :)
I've got a phatboy midi controller. easy to use, but can be hard for precision tweaking of 2 parameters in relation to each other...

i suppose graphic tablets just can send three parameters: x - y - pressure

The way to control more midi parameters would be to draw lines on the tablet- center horizontal & vertical, plus diagonals from the corners of the pad... Each of the lines (and say, 1cm around them) would control a midi parameter, you could even say pressure was the degree to which that effect was applied, eg, top left corner would be most long echo, pressed hard and the volume would increase...

Ahh, it's that "live" package everyone was going on about before... I'd never been able to find about it online (I'd been searching for "Live", you may as well have "the" as a keyword)...

You can use a joystick to control the XY midi controller plugin... Personally, I prefer a mouse to joystick for that though. Mind you, using a joystick would allow you to use a mouse for other things (like a different xy controller) at the same time...

check www.ableton.com
ableton live is one of the best audio sequencers, it has a uniqe philosophy (a bit like acid). great for live gig's ... funkstörung are using ableton live for live acts ...

Cheers, map. I'll look into it. I used to used acid (the software :P )a lot so it should be pleasant to get back into something similar.
