Best Midi CC Fader Controller for PT?

The Fadermaster Pro was there for a ridiculously short period of time and then chucked (too big even machined/cut down, it would send double messages, etc.) Only one person at RCP tried to adopt it. It was never a thing. Hans used/uses the Peavey for MIDI CC. (If you see a 4 fader Fadermaster it isn't the same thing -- it controls a Yamaha mixer on the right-side of the desk on a pull out shelf to control dia/sfx/music and is run by custom softwrae on a computer hiding behind his monitors.) No one should get the JL Cooper Fadermaster (even on the used market.)

I actually did similar in Lemur, which is really great... I just got fed up with having to watch my fingers to be sure they're on the faders (rather than just doing it by touch on a real fader)

If an iPad controller is a possibility then I can definitely recommend the power of Lemur... It's fully customisable.

It also seems way better to me than TouchOSC, which for me had too many unfixable irritations.

Lemur sounds interesting (especially if it's a one-off purchase, like TouchOSC and unlike Soundflow) but I can't find it on the iPad App Store. Does it have a longer/different name?

Yeah, just looked and it appears Lemur was sold:
https://cdm.link/2023/01/lemur-lives/

And isn't actually available at the mo, as you pointed out,

Maybe TouchOSC is worth another look

I got hacked off with them, and stopped using it when they made a change to the CC1 behaviour which made it unusable (CC1 shouldn't snap back to zero on release imho)... Contacted the developer and he totally disagreed... So I got Lemur instead.

Maybe V2 of TouchOSC gives the option of either... In which case it is actually usable, as opposed to being impossible to play pretty much every VI out there.

In every other respect it was fine

Lemur was purchased by MIDI Kinetics but hasn’t been resurrected as yet.

When Lemur died it really messed MK up (and me!) It’s Composer Tools Pro was reliant on it.
