Vincenzo, it would be so much easier if you had a real MIDI controller. You
spent hundreds of dollars on Pro Tools. SPending $150 for a cheap controller is
not much by comparison.
You might seriously wish to spend some time with an app like GarageBand.
GarageBand, particularly with VoxKeys, is
easier as I can use the buttons and motorized fingers to adjust
different parameters. I guess it's more of a preference as I'm sure you
can perform these same actions by using the short-cut key strokes of
VoiceOver.
