A cross posting form the LeapMotion-Geco Bitbucket pages...
There will be no sysex support in Geco....well ok, that functionality would be better implemented within CopperLan to avoid re-inventing the wheel anyhow. Done properly, there will be no need for any other sysex solution for as long as CopperLan lives.
Mr Copperlan has demonstrated direct LeapMotion to Copperlan functionality....sweet!
So a developer comes along and makes a native sysex app for Copperlan on the free SDK and we go LeapMotion->CopperLan direct...no Geco required.
Unless that sysex app (paid) developer is Geco utilizing a commercial CopperLan SDK, it would seem a revenue stream surrendered and even lost sales?
This sysex stuff must truly be rocket science, because probably the only product that takes a serious stab at it is 'Midi Designer' for iPAD i.e we need to spend $600 on hardware just to get this functionality, when hand gestures are an equally capable method of control.
If Geco will not develop a paid app for CopperLan or indeed a free one, could you please use your connections in the C++ community and bring this opportunity to their attention, thereby cutting your own lunch
Mr CopperLan did mention that their are others lining up behind the CME controller keyboard due this year. Maybe there is a hardware controller in the works that is going to do handle this.....otherwise I cannot fathom how an enterprising developer can pass up the opportunity to touch so many dusty hardware devices sitting in closets around the world.
It's definitely a chicken and egg story, because folk wont realize the potential of that old hardware until a LeapMotion-CopperLan solution is presented on say a YouTube video....a groundswell.
And come to think of it, why wouldn't CoppeLan themselves make this happen as a feedback mechanism for their product. I see sysex as core for CopperLan, not a nice to have.
