It is interesting, whether it is possible to write a patch in max-msp for tracking moving two fingers on touchpad? I.e. x-y the controller? Thanx!

How about the mousestate object? I used that one to control speed and volume of the movie playback lately.

but with the Touchpad2Midi stuff, you don't have to deal with ' where is the

mouse at the moment i need to use this xy values ', as it depends only of

also, i prefer to desactivate the touchpad for the cursor and still use it

on the other hand, i have to load this very small *.exe for the midi device

but with the Touchpad2Midi stuff, you don't have to deal with ' where is the
mouse at the moment i need to use this xy values ', as it depends only of
your touchpad...
also, i prefer to desactivate the touchpad for the cursor and still use it
at xy ctl ...

on the other hand, i have to load this very small *.exe for the midi device
to be assigned correctly. ;)

Hey, Could you give a few more details on how to get Max to recognize this plug-in as a MIDI controller? I have touchpad2midi running in savihost and I followed the set up directions on touchpad2midi's website for stand-alone set up. What do I need to do to get midi input into a patch? I'm looking at the midiin and notein objects and not able to get any options. I'm running XP, by the way.

If you're lucky enough to be on one of those spangly new macbook (pros) - any unibody I think - then you can track a lot more than 2 fingers with this external:

Sorry for those earlier mac / PC users out there..
