2007-03-31T23:20:13 shdh16 motorized faders driver: I got a BCF2000 interface with 8 motorized faders ($140 on ebay), and I wrote a simple python driver for it. It just talks midi, so there's no hard way to get the data. I tried pyalsamidi for a minute, and then just fell back on open("/dev/snd/midiC1D0", "r").
My test program reads one slider and drives the other 7 with a sine shape, offset by the position of the first slider.
I was only on site for about 2 hours, so I was very poorly photographed.
