Hey Levon,
The xy pad is mouse is a mouse input. I will not being using it for the mouse exclusively, but I felt a touuch pad coupled with mouse track fx slider would give resolume a bit of a "Korg Entrancer" feel...

Hey Sense,
Thanx for the input...
"- The select/clear of decks, perhaps you should move the clear below channel selection button, is perhaps a bit flaw-sensitive"
I kept going back and forth with this. The way you mentioned is more technically accurate to resolume. I ended up putting the clip buttons full on the bottom so that in performance I wouldn't HAVE to look at my hand and I could be sure that the bottom right corner would always only trigger a clip ... (sometimes I am a sloppy VJ)
Basically putting it there would make it so I would know exactly where the limits of the clip trigger area are... (ie 2 of them defined by the borders of the unit) without looking...
"- A clear channelFX button would be awesome, perhaps even disable / clear within the channel buttons area?
- Clear / disable General FX ?"
I can't recall seeing those as options in the keystroke dialog option... Originally I wanted to have the layout based on just what was available. (didn't want to contribute to the Bart/Edwin "Gimme list". : )
Personally I used the 3 global effects more than the per layer effects, but the confines of keystrokes options and the fact I had to decide on making the hardware interface be only about individual layers and not global effects. (just due to the real estate of the working surface.) So I designed the "logic" of this interface to be layer driven... not global driven. It really has to be used with a midi controller, make sense?
(oooo bad pun)
there are 11 "Blank" areas... this will accommodate effects or better unforeseen control... because of the limitations of the keypad grid I had to design over, I wouldn't be able to put them in the channel buttons area.
It's funny... thi whole projected started as just getting the 5x4 touchpad grid down cuz NO midi controller offered it.. : )
the button interface is:
9.75 inches(247mm) by 7.50 inches (191mm)
thanks for the input!
sorry about the double post. not sure how it happened.
later
