Tablet MIDI. List your Tablet experiences please

Hi,

I've just ordered my Intuos A6 !
I'm impatient to try the tilt, rotate etc. features within Tablet2MIDI

But I plan to use the Wacom mouse together with the pen : have you made some progress for this ?
Does the current version already has a keyboard shortcut to switch to mouse mode for editing ?

Thanks !

I've received the Intuos : small but wonderful !
First tests :
- I need to use an external mouse because T2M actually doesn't allow to use the Wacom mouse
- tilt works well from 40 to 127 and it is easy to change the values in a MIDI plugin to have a full 0 - 127 range, with an invert direction (I prefer having 0 when the pen is vertical and increasing value when I lower it)
For those who are interested I have uploaded a plugin with a preset for the Intuos http://acousmodules.free.fr/fichiers/MIDIPlugCSII.rar
- angle is in polar coordinate and works well, just needs a little practice ! It is strange when we are in the up position because the value can change suddenly from 127 to 0, but it is possible to change it to have only the full range on 180° in mirror with the same MIDI plugin
- the other controls have no effect.

hi,
i have a graphire
always seems to work very good...
the only thing is the printer/tablet calibration thing...
the calibration printed sheet shows a line with an A and a B..

but the letter A is not on the top-left point of the line...
even the B...

do we have to put the pen on the letters or on the line top left and bottm right points?

should the top - left point of the segment stay on the top-left tablet active spot or..the sheet should stay at top left of active tablet area?..

i mean that the line start somewhat lower than the sheet...

my suggestion would be....prepare some calibration sheet based on the common tablet active areas..like a4, a5, a6 etc..
they are standard dimension...
i suggest to print in the calibration sheet a frame rapresenting the actual active tablet area so you can put it exactly in place
..my calibration session infact didn't go so well
the printed layout has some x misalignment between printed objects and actual midi transmitting tablet areas...

lalo
