are there mouse objects for Pd? I thought there were, but have not been able to find them in my search of this forum...
something that could, say, make the mouse a controller by using it's position to control amplitude or the timbre of noise or the pitch of a sine wave?
also, I have been reading past posts about hardware controllers, arduino in particular, and I recently was given a CREATE usb board by a friend....
does anyone have an thoughts about these devices and which one is perhaps better suited and easiest to implement as a very very simple sample controller?
I use live samplers. Built two that work great in Pd, and want to have some external controllers for them as in:
5 buttons
6 endless rotary knobs
times two....
I think the CReate usb is well suited for this, but I have noticed that arduino is most often mentioned by pd users....so i thought I would ask for any advice before soldering..
thanks.

hey,
just had another thought that i intended to mention...
usb/firewire mixers....has anyone experimented with these as controllers?
