Title: What do you think about touch screen?
Post by: gouyou on June 21, 2005, 11:12:41 am

hello...
I'm interesting in using CS80V  with a touch screen...
But I never try to use one....
Is it ok? Can we easily use arturia's softwares or it isn't very precise?
Did you test some config?

Hi Gouyou and thanks for writing in English ( I live closer to France than UK but , you know, this seems 2 b  the official net language )

about any touch screen controller one to try could be the Lemur by JazzMutant  ( http://www.jazzmutant.com/index.php ), it is a revolutionary multi touch screen , it means that you can set different zones on the screen then you can work each zone independently; take care it is not a midi controller is rather an OSC controller ( which is an open standard protocol working at 32 bits instead of MIDI's only 8 bit and it's extremely powerful compared to old MIDI ) and it has to work with OSC compatible machines ( MAX/Msp, AudioMulch or Reaktor ) which means that only through them you can route MIDI messages. It is rather expensive nowadays ( 2500$ or around ).....well :cry:  :cry:  :cry: if only Arturia could implement an OSC driver into their synthesizers......
