    Just confirmed that OLA is still useable in Windows 10. Not bad for some pointy clicky goodness. This will work great for text as you can use any TTF Font in Inkscape, save as SVG and convert it with OLA.

    Geez, everyone 'round these parts really cherish their threads, I reckon. Cain't a pair of fellers even put together a couple of ideas 'round here? Should we get a private room for this little brainstorming chat, so that no one else knows about it?🤔
    Jus' pulling yer legs, Folks. I get it. JS

    Nice!! The one nice thing about DMX is; the resolution is a higher than Midi. 256 vs 128. DMX is way more finicky though since it's dumb and there is no data/error checking. Still really cool though. I took some video of the abstracts and how I manipulate them with my APC40. I'll see if I can find those vids and share them with you.

    well, you could use midi nrpn.
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Shameless would be to plug it in every thread like... well, nevermind.

    I love that Radiator. I wish I could have gotten on the KS for it but my finances were strapped at the time. I also in awe of the Z5 console as well.

    all the "fine" mode does is reduce the effect of the encoder pulse by a specified factor. that happens internally in the code.
