Hi all, I am new to this thread, but like some of the ideas that have been discussed on here so far.

On thing that may be of interest, especially to those building prototypes with midi/usb as their protocol, (forgive me if anyone has already brought this up).
With MIDI CC you only get 7 bits of resolution for your sensors. Reapers automation supports much more than this,
I was wondering whether it would be better to harness some other types of midi message, or if using MSB/LSB pairs of CC channels was a better way to go. 14 bits of control resolution should be more than sufficient.
