Re: To Mixer App developers




You had me excited, but that is not what I am looking for. A big part is that custom layer should be native to the mixers control program, so you don't have to go digging in another app to get controls that aren't in common use. I got the touchOSC and starting digging through the documentation but it became clear quickly that the time effort for trying to make a custom interface is not worthwhile.


It may be my bias against midi control (I spent most of the 90's out of sound doing other things while midi went from a novelty to something usable) but I don't see trying to recreate what can be done with in the mixers native apps or trying to have different devices trying to access the same controls.


A visualize simply a blank screen that can be accessed just like you access any of the other control screens in the app.

A double click or something unlocks the view.

A double click or something pops up a menu with the controls accessible through the app.

You select one and it copies it to the blank page.

You slide it to where you want

You repeat for other controls

Another double click or something takes you out of the edit mode and locks the view.

Then when you use the control it acts just like it would in its usual location.
