Yeah, I've been using midi controllers as my macro keyboard for quite sometime. I've been using KeyboardMaestro to map the midi packets into shortcuts, and believe it or not, I've been using midi foot pedal switchers that are used for guitar pedals, as my macro keyboard. Sometimes I'd also use my 3 octave midi piano/keyboard for it.

I've got a Korg nanoKONTROL 2 midi usb controller to control all of my lights in the home office. I can control rgb color, color temperature, brightness, on/off state for single devices or group them to some kind of master control channel. I'm using an opensource software named midimonster which transforms and sends the midi signal via mqtt to a broker from where on it gets picked up by node red home automation which then again maps all the incoming requests to homeassistant smarthome commands. Furthermore I can control preset scenes and turn off/on the main power for my desk, all using the midi controller. But this is not where things end. I might as well trigger any kind of automation / service or integration in homeassistant or send come channels using a different protocol to some other recipient than my mqtt broker - e.g. some software running on the pc

Let me give you a couple suggestions that might help if you decide to stick with this: First, pick up a right angle (or maybe left angle?) USB Mini - Mini adapter. You'll still have the stupid USB Mini cable, but you can, at least, make it sit flush with the body of the unit. Then, pick up some Blu Tack. This is the magic putty you never knew you needed. Just put a little down on your desk and stick it to the Behringer, and it won't move or budge. I've got my iPad stand and my interface Blu Tack'd down on a mahogany desk and they never move unless I want them to, and it leaves no marks.

I've been using these for midi controllers for 5-6 years now with LR. Far more versatile and better ergonomics than any fancy LR specific controller I've tested. Most have controls used by commands as easily done with your keyboard that's right in front of you. Plus the X Touch Midi also works with any other software that is midi controllable too. The endless rotary knobs also being being a switchable 2x8 setup to control 16 parameters in LR is fantastic. I only paid £35 for each of my two. I bought two because I thought I'd need more endless knobs, but 2x8 was turned out to be enough. So I have spare controller just in case. One irritant is that if using two devices you need to tweak one for computer to see them as two devices and that has to be done on a PC. Really Behringer! Re finding LR hard to use with mouse and sliders. You can expand side panels to be larger and make for longer sliders or see deeper folder structures in Library. Press alt key and hover over edge of panel. Drag to suit. 👍

I use the behringer min for doing various operations such as 3 knobs for low, medium, and high speed scrolling. I also have 2 knobs for 1 and 5 right or left (the arrow keys). These work in youtube videos to skip ahead and back, and also in VLC player. The nice thing is the knobs are infinite so you can keep twirling them. The slider I use as a zoom, it's like a scroll up/down but with the control key down. And I use 1 knob for volume. I couldn't do these using any existing software, so I wrote my own. I'm on windows and I'm a script programmer (tcl/tk) so I use the windows api (twapi) to inject keystrokes and/or mousewheel commands. The mousewheel is nice, since you don't need window focus, it gets sent to whatever window is under the pointer, even if you didn't click it first. Some of the buttons are set for copy/paste and several of my text editor functions. The knobs are also buttons you can push. I use 2 for sending the commands to go back and forward in a browser. I got mine used and on sale for under $60, but the lowest I've seen it since is $90 used. I'm looking to get another one for my living room video computer.

I started out mapping with midikey2key, but I've moved on to midi mixer, its slow going with development, but its a much nicer interface and useful for any app, (for instance , in resolve, I map printer lights to color coded pads on my controller to make color correction fast), and its main use is as a volume mixer that can control individual apps or virtual audio devices. as well as focused windows . I couldn't get the sysex messages for led color changes to work with my arturia minilab II anyway on midikey2key :D There are default profirle for the x touch controller as well. I do wish the x touch had a touch strip tho. XD Kind of acts like a cheap goXLR alternative if you already have an audio interface and has some streamdeck functionality as well.

There's one other thing that you can try if you don't want to go deep on any devices. Now I was able to do this with a gaming keyboard that had an extra set of keys on the left hand side, you could also get away with getting a very cheap USB number pad to perform this operation. Basically, using the extra set of keys, you macro left click middle click and right click (of the mouse). Now when you're doing fine controls in whatever program, be it faders or color correction or whatever, you have your one hand doing the mouse clicks and your main hand doing the mouse movements. It is easier on your dominant hand, if you can get a finer touch and you are distributed between both sides if your body which is healthier.

In a similar vein, 3dconnexion and others make high-end "space mice" that are optimized for the repetitive motions performed when using programs like AutoCAD, Sketchpad, etc. Watching someone use those programs with specially designed controllers like this is like watching the work on fast forward. More importantly, tools like what you illustrated here likely do wonders for reducing the need for so many micro-movements which can lead to crippling repetitive stress injuries.

I’ve been looking for a while for a massive midi controller with literally hundreds of knobs, faders, and switches along with 1/4 or 3.5 in-outs for everything so it can be used for modular software synths. This would be so cool. Normal people can’t afford 45k for a system 55 with the dual sequencers. They can’t even afford the 20k+ clones. But I bet if someone released a midi cabinet version for a few hundred bucks or even 1-2k people would buy it. A less extreme version could be a system 10/15 midi panel for considerably less. It would be a quarter of the size. Sell it for 499 or 899 with a sequencer midi panel combo.

Strong disagree on Part 02. You do not get what you pay for, with the loupedeck. Build quality is better on the x-touch than the loupedeck and you have to set up both yourself, either way. And its painless on MIDI2LR. Also MIDI2LR support forum is still very current. Meanwhile Loupedeck just stops updating devices/ software as soon as the next model is out. Also how is the xtouch getting knocked because the stand YOU put it on is wobbly?...

There's nothing wrong with that at all, I was just trying to be transparent in the feedback.
