Livelab tell us that their
Touchpad 2 MIDI is now available in version1.1.
Touchpad 2 Midi is a free VST plugin for Windows that allows you to use the touchpad on your laptop as a midi controller.
The touchpad can be configured as:
- An XY pad
- 4 sliders
- 4 Buttons
At the moment only Synaptics touchpads are supported - the company tell us they are working on adding support for USB touchpads as well, but have not yet heard from Cirque / Adesso regarding how to read raw data from their touchpads. Some laptops use Alps touchpads these are unfortunately not supported either - Alps have been contacted.
