Some people only have got a keyboard with a data slider, e.g. the DX7 has got one, sending CC 6 (RPN-/NRPN-Controller). I once wrote an app for the C64 converting those controllers that can't be changed by the keyboards them self, so I was able to control any other controller for my Atari ST, resp. hardware synth and effects. I guess such a CC mapping manager is useful for Linux too and would solve Louigi's problem. Unfortunately I can't help, because I can't program for Linux, but such a task isn't something that needs much effort to be programmed for people who are familiar with the OS and C. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-dev
