From an interesting post on the mailing list:

We can use a "MIDI control surface" not only for sound but also in an NLE. The trick is to bind the keys of the controller to the functions of CinGG. We can do this in 3 ways (all to be verified):
1- Use the patch of an old Cinelerra user:

We can see his explanation video here:

2- Use a script that is based on "aseqdump" and "xdotool". See the first answer here:

3- Using midi2input:

If anyone tries these solutions, please let them know!
I just bought the AKAI Professional LPD8 MKII
I only want to have better controls for histogram and Color 3 Way.
I'm fine with timeline controls via keyboard. But there are pads on it too, so go frame forward and backwards could play out well too.
In the past (Win 95) I worked with Cubase VST - so I have a basic understanding of midi - but just very basic.
I will just plug it in to the USB port and see what happens - probably nothing ^^
Would you say I should buy the Blackmagic Micro color panel?
It comes with DR Studio licence.
OK 🙁
