Mr P from Brasil...you made it happen...
don`t know for how many years I `ve been a passive GS reader now...

First post...

Whats going on over there in Brasil?... since I discovered this thread Im waiting for news and small hidden clues how you`ve done that...

Some other contributions here were also fascinating
thinking about what jkrummri added

simply using
a hid ubs interface
+encoders and buttons
+ a glass plate
+ a monitor
make an easy way to build the hardware for something like you`ve created

plug it in (usb) and you could play supermarioland with it

o.k. so
we had to add a hid to midi converter (software) to get midi data
there are so many out there like mjoy MJOY: Joystick to MIDI converter and so on
done!
that was the easy part....

So what I realy want....realy... realy...is to buy that piece of software

maybe you could enlighten me with a few anwsers?
Though I know you need all your time to get in touch with the company`s now

Question0: I dont understand (but how could I... I didn?t develop the dragon controller) why your controller runs on a second machine and does it all via tcp/ip. Why is that?

Question1: You are using the original gui elements and simply rearrange them? You have to modify/recompile any .dll ? Or does your editor "simply" *ahem not so simple extract the gui elements from the dll...

Question2: So I assume what we see on the controller pc monitor is only a representation of the actual unmodified plugin on the host pc? Somehow grabbing orig. gui elements from the plugins .dll and reading/writing values from the host?
So the orrig. dll remains unharmed

?
Or are we seeing the actual modified plugin from the host pc?
Or are the plugins running on the controller *probablynot

Question3: Midi is generated on the host or the controller pc?

Dammed I have so many questions... This thing totally rocks...
when your rich and this things price jumps over the 1000€ line,
so i will have to save money for about a year (still studying)
send me the sourcecode

I bet there is a way you could make it all run on the host pc...
but that might give the need for additional vga/hdmi outputs since most studio computers allready run 2 monitors.. you were using a usb to vg adapter? didn`t you write that? on wich pc? controller or host? for the touchscreen i assume?

anyway... rock on...
ps: gimmmmeeeeee thaaaaaaaaaaaad sourcecode
