I'll try the mirror - I've been using a RAM card instead.
Also try pens and pencils for fast, precise gestures.

This "may" be because it's designed to work in-line and I got the 
impression
you're using it in an effects send. 

For the visually inclined - that's the air-fx that looks like a hand drum 
I'm

I find two-handed techniques work well with many patches and 
I can have both hands free if I'm treating loops.
