Topic: Pianoteq Touch Panel
Hello,
I created a software MIDI controller for Pianoteq. It’s optimized for a touchscreen, but can be used with a regular mouse.
I needed it because on my hybrid notebook screen the standard Pianoteq GUI controls are too small to be comfortably touched with fingers, and since it has a 16:9 form factor, half the screen was left unused.
Unfortunately, Pianoteq MIDI mapping is not bi-directional, so settings that are changed from the Pianoteq GUI are not reflected in the panel. This would be especially useful when loading a preset, and in situations where you have a headless installation (imagine controlling Pianoteq with your phone/tablet with MIDI over wireless network!). I asked Modartt if they intend to implement a MIDI-out feature, but it's not currently in their plans. Who knows, maybe if there are enough requests, they may decide to work on it.
Pianoteq Touch Panel is free and open source, so you can adapt it to your needs. Being built with Ctrlr, it works in Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
