Mouse Mode
Mouse Mode is an innovative new concept that helps to overcome issues inherent in all Digital Audio Workstations today. A lack of co-operation. This lack of co-operation has lead to the distinct lack of hardware controllers specifically designed for controlling plugins. So Rocksolid decided to step in and solve this problem with a simple but elegant solution. Mouse Mode. In short it takes control of your mouse and moves the elements as if you were moving it with your mouse. Only you're not using your mouse, You're turning an encoder or pushing a button. It gets even better too because It never gets outdated and almost every computer has one. In short. if you have a programme with a mouse and a plugin window. The likelyhood is mouse mode will work. No Drivers, No VST Hosts, just ultimate freedom.
