Re: [Jsynthlib-devel] New Widget: MultiWidget

[Jeff W. <jww...@ya...>]

To All,

I'm just beginning work on drivers/editor for the
Behringer FCB1010 MIDI Foot Controller. Joachim's
message about the MultiWidget was particularly
interesting to me. This is definitely something I
could use for the FCB1010 and it's certainly a more
elegant solution that what I had in mind. Integrating
this into the Core package would certainly help me
out.

Thanks,
Jeff
