vastly more awesome! i did find something for autohotkey after all, but i can only get the notes to work, not any sliders :

great! i'm glad its working for you. thats strange about the ahk thing, it probably gets the midi info from the same place as i... i sent it to yanbu also, hope i used the right address.

i want to try that so badly..i need a simple fadeonly midi controller.
the best i found so far. cheap and no fancy stuff.

anyone knows some better more simple controller? 3-4 faders?

i will try more things out, there is source for that and autohotkey so i hope to learn that way. i also got python's pywin32 library to do some of my mouse moves, is nice.

idw, i did hear about a modualr midi controller, where you can plug in whatever sorta things you need, but i unfortunately dont know what to search for.. maybe "modular midi controller" and keep looking that way!

hmm, i bet that'd be more expensive though.

maybe this?

modular thing is cool but expensive indeed.
the gap on the m-audio x-session might be a little annoying, but the only suitably usb controller i've seen so far with 4 faders. thanks for the links.
i think i go with an used korg on ebay and some day build my own midi controller from scratch.
can't wait to test along..

pywin will work well I think. I tried it out a bit as well. It'd be very conducive to exploring cannibal-like effects since the Python Imaging Library can import nearly any graphic format.

I have no idea why small control only things are so hard to find. I only found the nanoKontrol as well. I know doepfer used to make a 16 slider box but it was $$$.

hey ds thanks for sending me the app, i plan on playing with it tonight and tomorrow, and then post the app to the tools section (if that's cool with you) hurray!

sure thing yanbu! let me know how it works out for ya and feel free (anyone!) to make suggestions for features / send me patches or whatever.
