Hi. I've not been on my Linux system with Gimp for a bit so Ideally I need to work through exactly how I set that up and how I'm using it. The aconnectgui is how to see and make the connections but in actual fact it's best to do that from command. The connection isn't remembered so rather than

You can do anything. That's why it's so great. MIDI has continuous controllers and notes. Notes can be mapped as well. Continuous controllers can be set to any value or a button sends that value so say you want a collection of brush sizes, you set a button to send a value anywhere from 0-127 that

You need to set up the Korg using Windows software to get it all exactly as you want. That should work in wine. Gimp will remember all the mappings but the one problem is that Gimp doesn't remember the connection so you have to connect the ALSA output of the MIDI controller to Gimp's input after

So can you use MIDI in Windows as well? I've never tried that. I'm always assuming Gimp users are Linux but of course that isn't the case. I'm sure I've read there is a problem with it on OSX though. I don't like Gimp OSX. Often there are problems. I stopped using it on OSX. On 13 September 2012

I can't even remember the brush size. I'm not looking at Gimp as present, It's just WAY too large in Gimp 2.8. 2.6 was fine. I've not used 2.6 for years so I can't remember everything about it as far as this logarithmic stuff etc is concerned. I'm not even looking at 2.8. I'm on a Mac. Gimp is on

OK. I'm not looking at Gimp at the moment. I have no source code to compile but before compiling, as far as I can see there is a file called gimppaintoptions.c. In that there are the lines: GIMP_CONFIG_INSTALL_PROP_DOUBLE (object_class, PROP_BRUSH_SIZE
