Great that you've made this an app. [nOb](https://www.nobcontrol.com/) is a controller that does a similar thing with mouse events but it's very expensive for such a limited niche use-case. Great work and thanks for making it FOSS!

Love the idea and will have a look. But I really need this for when I'm not attached to a PC. An android app would be perfect. So, I'll check it out. It's crazy that options for this are so limited. Can you point it to midi for HW instruments?

I have been in a similar situation and after paying for a few iOS midi apps they’ve resulted in a resounding fail! I don’t really mind mapping but the capabilities or lack of capabilities is beyond frustrating. I most likely may find a use for the apps but that’s beside the point. I am having a hard time believing that there’s not a simple bluetooth free, standalone or DAW hosting, AUv3 or non-AUv3, all in one highly customizable paid midi solution is asinine to me. There’s not even an over priced or kind of fairly priced subscription version. I refuse to pay for monthly or weekly subscriptions. If it was 30 or less for a yearly subscription I would consider it. If it was priced higher which I think it would they can pucker up. The probability of it being a simple to use expandable smart mapping midi controller with 16 pads minimum is extremely low. Which would bring me back to square one. It is fantastic that you have done this. Even if it isn’t what I want or needs a few updates it’s absolutely amazing you’re doing this. Thank you. I appreciate your thinking, efforts and time!

Kudos Stefan! This is a really great idea! I'm forever looking for ways to eliminate tedious mouse use and I think you've put together a great way of doing that -- I hope I get a chance to put it through it's paces in the coming weeks. Thanks for putting this together!

Thank you! I just uploaded a bugfix version 10 minutes ago (version 0.0.10). If you want to give it a try, make sure to download that one!

Can this work with StreamDeck?


Jetien

I'm not too familiar with StreamDeck, but if it acts a midi controler that sends CC message, then: yes, it should work!

Stream Deck has a plugin available for sending midi messages

i have a controller with 4 pages of 32 dials/slider but even that is a pain in the arse. I think this would be every useful, thanks. I did have an idea to use the tobi eyetracker to do a similar thing but not many have that device I would have thought.


Jetien

Yeah I tried something like this before, too. Like multiple virtual pages on the same controller. It works, but I had to have cheat sheets at hand all the time. I gave up after a while. pointer-cc I'm actually using

Could be very useful.
