I'm looking for creative alternatives to dedicated control surfaces. I've looked into:
and other input devices specifically designed for the job of mixing on computer software.
What I would like to know is has anyone had any success using hardware that wasn't specifically meant for the purpose? I understand that as long as a midi device can send sysex information, you should be able to use it to control audio software.
Anyone have experience with such things?
