Very inspiring to read about Mark's experiences with touch screen control. BTW, there is this "Mix 16" layout that comes bundled wit TouchOSC that offers two 8 fader mixers, among other things. I'd like to use that one on my iPhone. Just need to find a good solution for temporarily mounting the iPhone on the Stick. I'm already very keen on using the GK-3's volume knob and two buttons for controlling sound parameters. To me touch-screen on the instrument is of almost equal usability rate as my trusty Gordius MIDI pedal. My issue with touch-screens, that you have to look at them in order to use them, isn't that blatant if mounted on the instrument you carry on your body. BTW, yesterday Xavier announced that the Gordius will soon support both long and short presses on each switch! That will double its deepness in tweakness, let us Gordius users put twenty function into each ten switches bank. Will be nice not having to shoe-gaze that much for bank switching. The above is of course related to doing improvised electronic music. When performing a fixed set you could as well put most of your commands into Ableton Live to be duly sent out for the receiving devices. I have recently enjoyed several peak experiences associated with Max For Live, for a laptop aided musician quite similar to what the Assigns Window means for the GR-55; an open window to unlimited horizons :-) Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen On Tue, Jan 17, 2012 at 1:07 PM, mark francombe <mark@markfrancombe.com> wrote: > Hi LD, > > Just wanted to report an incredible breakthru regarding the missing link, > TouchOSC and the GR55.
