====Using MIDI controllers instead of Encoders====
Using midi driven encoders instead of encoders bult-in to the Zynthian is a little bit confusing, and that’s conceptual rather than technical. A MIDI controller is normally a pot or an encoder pretending to be a potentiometer. Its value varies from 0 to 127. The problem with that is the Zynthian encoders work as proper encoders using up and down signals. To produce something that could control a list properly when you move to a specific screen after you’ve come from another page is rather complicated because most pots will simply send the maximum value but not repeatedly send if further turns are made.
The next issue is handling the pushbutton functions of the encoder and bold presses and long presses.
You can send CUIA commands to drive the GUI and that would allow you to drive the whole device from push buttons but it might be a lot of switches.
And you really can do an awful lot with a mouse! Really easy if you get a wireless(not Bluetooth) one it’s really intuitive once you learn the trick to do the back button.
