Surround panning MIDI controller

[SPDeaf]

Hello,

is there any way that a MIDI controller (a joystick or whatever) can be mapped to the X/Y panner in Pro Tools?

I read all its protocols are in EUCON and the protocol is not public. I don't want to pay 1000 € to get a controller like the JLCooper AXOS just to pan stuff manually. I think it's a bit of a ripoff.

However, I also read MIDI CC messages (like CC10 for panning) and can be mapped to Pro Tools parameters through available MIDI mapping tools or plugins, is that true?

Any ideas?

This is not supported. thing to consider is using a tablet/ipad with pro tools control installed.

so not even midi CC? I've read multiple times about CC10 for panning. is it not possible to use that?

I have not used one but this joystick is supposed to be compatible with the PT protocol.

That's only for MIDI pan not the track panner.

The lack of proper motorized surround panners for use with Pro Tools is infuriating

[dr sound]

The reason there isn't any motorized panner available is that Harrison owns the patent and enforces it in the US. Years ago I saw motorized panners on an SSL and Harrison said to me they only enforce the patent in the US and not in the rest of the world.
I would like to see Avid include Panners on all their Control surfaces as an add on purchase. I would be willing to buy them at the same price as they offer on the S6.
