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 It gets even better too because It never gets outdated and almost every computer has one.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.
Create Your Own Maps
Create your own presets fast! Its pretty easy and quick to create your own presets.
Point & Click Mapping
click and hold on the plugin element you want to map and hey presto! Its mapped.
Multiple Functions
Once you've mapped your elements you can decide what you want your mouse to do on each specific element. Single Click, Double Click, Default Click, Scroll, click and Drag, There is an option for every possible scenario.
Fine and Default Keystrokes
Mouse Mode also has the ability to automatically engage the fine control of a plugin or engage the default reset value of an element. You also have access to the velocity and fine % of the mouse in order to really tweak the overall feel of Mouse Mode.
Can Host Mode detect what channel I have selected ?
In future yes. Currently Host Mode is in public beta and this functionality has been removed until final release but in future you will be able to simply click on a channel and control your plugins
What plugins does Host Mode work with ?
Host mode works with all major daws and currently supported AAX, AU and VST3 formats.
Can you control more than one element at a time with Mouse Mode ?
Although Mouse Mode takes control of your mouse to control your plugins it can control multiple parameters at the same time.
What Audio programmes is Mouse Mode compatible with ?
The compatibility listed Isn't the the full list. As Mouse Mode controls your mouse its almost impossible to test every programme out there. But if your audio programme has a seperate plugin window the chances are Mose Mode will work for you.
Do I have to have the plugin open to use Mouse Mode
Yes. As Mouse Mode controls your mouse, the plugin would need to be active and focused for mouse mode to work.
