Andy.Fleming Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Do-it-yourself Control Surface I had an small, extra midi keyboard that I decided to make into a sort of control surface . I set it up with the keys I thought would be useful. For moving around in the arrange window I decided I liked the feel of "Shuttle Rewind" and "Shuttle Forward". I'm also thinking about setting up the second half of the keyboard for more editing and automation key shortcuts or possibly to bring up different windows or screensets.
