![]() So it's my intention to use it solely for sending select CC messages to virtual instruments for realtime manipulation of the sounds. So I'm using a mouse AND a Magic Track Pad 2 at the same time. I'm using a Logtitech mouse to control my DAW software and after experimenting a little with the Magic Trackpad 2, I don't see that changing. I bought a Magic Track Pad 2 last night and it arrived this morning. well I guess maybe just with it's included VIs and I was able through the use of Audio Swift's tutorial video to map the Magic Track Pad 2 to control the X/Y controllers on Alchemy and it worked pretty well. LP seems to have universal MIDI Learn capability. I'm NOT a Logic Pro user, but got it as part of a bundle and have it around to mess with from time to time. I actually got it to work in Logic Pro on their Alchemy VI. Maybe someone will chime in who's tested AudioSwift with DP11. I haven't tried AudioSwift with DP10, and (unfortunately, as usual) there's no mention of DP on the AudioSwift site. I don't think this issue is a deal breaker, and I'm sure I'll eventually, with practice, get used to controlling by feel alone. Which pad am I on now? Same thing for using 3 or 4 virtual faders to control Spitfire instruments. ![]() If I'm trying to control two X-Y pads in Zebra for example, and the plugin window disappears, I find it disorienting. I mostly use Studio One for writing, and this is a problem, to me anyway. Go to the top right of the plugin window, click the triangle and make sure Always on Top is unchecked. Cubase is the only DAW of the four that has a workaround. They come back when AudioSwift is turned off. The DAW hides all third party plugin windows when this happens. This happens with Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio, Studio One and Cubase. When AudioSwift is on, it becomes the key app on screen and the DAW loses its focus. Why do the plugin windows disappear when turning on AudioSwift? Wouldn't have to worry about moving the mouse cursor off the XY area in the GUI, etc.Īny advice from those who have been down this road? Oddly, I guess I wouldn't necessarily even have to set it up for sending MIDI controller messages, but could use it just to move the cursor, but I think it would be "less messy" to use MIDI controller messages. find a used Magic Trackpad 1 or whatever and put it on top of my keyboard and use that. If it works as advertised that might be ideal. I did do a preliminary search and came across an app called Audio Swift that apparently allows you to use a Magic Trackpad (older and new version I guess) for this purpose. I could manipulate the sound with my left hand, while playing chords, etc. There must be dedicated pad controllers to do this that can send MIDI controller data to a VI like this? I have a nice large open flat area on top of my Komplete Kontrol S61 about 5" x 8" where something like this would fit. Naturally it's cumbersome to try and do that with a mouse.
