I've developed several control panels in Max, to give random access to deeper levels of parameter control on various processors. The most highly developed version was for the TC2290. I assigned the Mac keyboard to trigger different functions or to set discrete parameter values. I also mapped faders for continuous controls of parameters that otherwise have to be set discretely. I was using these systems on a Powerbook until at one gig the computer died. Since I wasn't inclined to repair or replace it at the time, I retired the computer and stuck to simple front panel control. It's been somewhere between a liberating discipline and a cumbersome drag to "perform" the Eventides with just the front panel keypads and soft knob, but I haven't been doing enough gigs to make interface building a pressing matter. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
