Hi,
I made an app that let's control *all* the parameters of your software synth with just 4 knobs on your MIDI Controller. It works by turning your MIDI controller into a computer mouse.

Some background: I was looking for an alternative to the computer mouse for controlling all the parameters on my retro software synths. MIDI mapping was frustrating to me, because these instruments have way more parameters than I have knobs on my MIDI controllers. MIDI mapping is also very tedious.

I was experimenting with an alternative approach: using the MIDI controller, but simulating the mouse pointer! This solution turned out to be much more ELEGANT and FUN that I expected. So I spent the last weeks turning my experimental script into a full app with the hopes that it would help others in the same way.

Let me know what you think! Feel free to ask for support here if you're having troubles setting it up.
