You can add MIDI tracks happily, you can set their inputs and outputs, I
do it regularly. What you can't do so far as I know, is edit stuff on
the track, but that's what QWS is for!
You say about the accessibility of Pro Tools, but I do the recording for
my band, and we've churned out loads of stuff for it. There's a few guys
on here using Pro Tools as their main DAW for paid work, so it can't be
all bad.
As for beta testers, I believe there are blind / visually impaired
people on the beta team.

I can't think of the name of the particular control surface but there
was one mentioned some years ago that made the functions not 100
percent accessable but pretty close but I can't remember what it was
at this point.
This is the frustrating thing about this kind of thing is that it is 1
step then 2 steps back then 2 steps forward and 1 or 2 steps back.
It seems as though we will never catch up but I know it takes time.
You almost need to have someone who is blind doing some part time work
with this company to test the software when it is an alpha version and
or beta so this person can say no this is broke, you need to redo this
or that.
Some one had sed if you want to add midi tracks to a project that this
was unaccessable from the keyboard of the mac but is there any way
around this using a control surface?
It would be interesting to have a list of the current limitations of
the software so you know what you can do and what can not be done at
this point.
I realize that is a little hard to do because the list would change
from release to the next release for the better or worse at this point.

This has been the goal for at least the last ten years with Pro
Tools, to have it 100% accessible, but unfortunatly it is one step
forward and two steps back at this point. Yes control surfaces do
give a greater amount of accessibility for blind people, but it is
all still limmeted.

Hello to the list.
One thing I am wondering about.
Are there control boards or consoles that one can connect to
the computer running Protools that allow functions to be
performed from that control surface?
Could a person use these control consoles to do functions with
Protools that can not be done from the mac keyboard?
One idea I would think would be to get the Protools software
accessable to a point and the controls that were not
accessable from the mac keyboard could be done from one of
these control surfaces or consoles.
This whole issue has me verry concerned.
If the protools software could be made accessable 100 percent,
just think what opportunitys this could open up to young blind
students who are intrested in multitrack recording.
This could be possible employment for some in studios making a
good living at what they love to do.
