Nostromo n52 profile for Project 5

Was wishing for a small little transport controller this weekend, when my eyes fell upon my Belkin Nostromo n52 game pad (it's a little left handed keyboard for gamers).

At any rate, I have started on a profile, it does some basic stuff at this point, but I'll keep working on it.

Two questions:

Anyone else using one of these and already have an awesome profile that they would like to share?
Anyone else using one of these and interested in the profile that I am creating?

And one more question: Is there a keyboard shortcut to arm a track for recording?

I knew there was another gamer in here!

I'm still working on my profile as well. With project5, SoundForge and Pinnacle Studio, I have a similar transport control scheme for each program. Play, stop, home, cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, next clip, prev.clip and then some program-specific macros. This supposed "game" controller works really well for editing programs. In P5, I keep coming up with something else to automate so it's still a work in progress for now.

I CANNOT find a shortcut key to arm a track! What's up Cakewalk? Why....? Everything else is a simple button press away except that I have to grab the mouse and aim for that little red dot. Oh well. At least it's bigger than the dot in Version 1.5

I have it too. Never used it. Please let us know what you come up with. I'd like to try it out.

Thanks!

I have added a Wiki Page for the first pass at the configuration.

The page has a link to the file. If anyone knows the wiki magic to actually put the file into the wiki, I'd greatly appreciate it if you would do so (or let me know and I'll do it).

Nice contribution, Andy. I placed a new post with Mike West's name in it hoping that as the "keeper o' da wiki" he could give you some help on uploading the config file into the Wiki database and linking "internally" to it. Let's see what he says.

Cool. It is up there already...That Mike West...he's a quick study...I saw he said he was working on encryption code in C...I'll bet he needed a break.

P5 Doesn't know anything about it, the file is actually used by the Nostromo Loadout Manager which configures the device. I figured those with N52s would know what to do with it, but I can certainly add more details. I can't imagine someone buying an n52 just to use this file.

Would using zip files be a reasonable approach? That should protect against malicious files and not constrain the content too badly.

BTW - Thanks for the edits, my one bun contribution actually looks pretty good now.

Belkin Nostromo Speedpad n52 - these sell on the net for under $50 including shipping, might not be a bad investment. Especially if, at the moment, you can't spare the $199 + tax & shipping for a Transport.

Great idea Andy!

I got mine a while back for $25 with free shipping.

Wow! this Nostromo is very cool. Getting a controller this small could actually be quite an advantage for playing live. Anyone know of similar controllers in this size / features range? - I never thought of looking in the "game" category for controllers.

I've been using my n52 for transport controls, but now y'all got me thinking too. Software companies like Cakewalk should add support for analog stick/throttle controls. You could do some fun real-time stuff with some of the flightsticks, rudders and pedals.

Can anyone who had previously downloaded this file email it to me?  Andy's web page no longer exists and the file never did make it onto the Wiki.  I'm recreating the P5 Wiki and would like to include this file in the download section.

If you have it and would be willing to share it, please send me a private message through the forum and I'll reply back with my email address.

Thanks!
