Anyone with an idea on this?
I'm just looking for the xy controlling, but some visual led lightshow is also fun.

You mean as in the 8 x 8 grid outputting x y and z midi information??

Cheers

Absolutely. Or X Y at least. I can imagine what that is, but I don't know what Z midi means. Care to enlighten me?

X an y give the co-ordinates, z gives whether the button is pressed down or not, think how a corgis touchpad works you move your finger across it to give x and y value but hen you release the figure a third variable can turn off an effect....

Aha. Makes sense.

Only just started but I'm building one into Octop4d 2

I made one a few months ago that does X-Y-Z to control placement in a 4=speaker array (before the new release). I thought of z in a different way. Width height depth, using the 8 x 8 for XY and the scene launch buttons to control 'height'. This could be mapped in a variety of ways. As a traditional XY, or a 4 corner matrix i.e. each corner is a parameter, so the middle would be have all 4 being equal values, while in a corner that parameter is one and all others are zero.

That was poorly written. But it works, LED feedback and all. I could clean it up and throw it your way if you're interested.

Wauv. That would be great. Actually precisely what I'm after.

Hi again.

Had a chance to look at that patch for me?

If not, I'll understand
