Checking if this is possible-Mac OX mouse controls

can I setup midi translator, mac osx, to make the mouse cursor jump to a specific location and left click a button or tab from a control on my dascratch?

I am still totally in the dark about rules but I am steadily pursuing an understanding of how to use them, I have a few synths where there are non controllable buttons that I want to make a template for, as in I always keep my synth windows in the upper right corner, can I make a MT command for each one, make a location jump to a predetermined point on the screen and then left click?

I hope this is clear, imagine a softsynth where almost all the parameters can be controlled from hardware, except for 1 or 2 buttons, the waveform select button and the filter select button, as long as I always keep the synth window in the same position could I have MT jump to that spot and click from midi command?

You still can assign a key combo to your mouse jump using Keyboard Maestro or iKey and then use it as the Outgoing keystroke of a translator in MT. That's how I mute tracks from a midi footswitch in my MOTU Cuemix console.

yes, as mocker implies, the Mac version currently does not have a Mouse Emulation as outgoing action (only the Windows version). We'll work on that for the next release after this version 1.6.1 due out soon.

Good news ! The less apps open, the better, when you work with midi and audio…

yes thank you sir, good to know your on it, also if I can make a suggestion.

I am completely lost at writing rules, if you build in a few basic rule like "mirror values" and such, things to make matching a fader to a rotary pot much easier, I'll keep trying on the rules writing though.

thanks again.

Hi Mike,

we know that the Rules are not so easy for non technical users, sorry. Perhaps we will put some usual rules like "matching a fader to a rotary pot" on our website in the future.

I was finally able to make sense of the first rule, check this out.

in another post about how to use rules you gave me this example

"Translator 2: S1 - Absolute IN - Absolute OUT
Options: stop=false
Incoming: MIDI B0 07 oo
Rules:
ga=oo
Outgoing: MIDI B7 60 ga "

I was SO over-reading the amount of information there.

the simplest way to explain this to you is that I thought the entire thing you wrote was the "Rule", not just the ga=oo part.

imagine that and then imagine me trying to figure out how to type all that into the rules box when you can't

my own misunderstanding, but man I felt dumb.

what I really want to be able to do in the longterm is to be able to assign a control to cause the mouse cursor to jump to a specific location and then perform a left click.

any update on when mac osx will get mouse control out?

Hi mike,

happy that you are one the right way

I am sorry, no exact idea, when we can release that feature.
