[RWP] What's the current state of n I kontact accessibility with hsc and ahk?

Wed May 1 15:46:43 EDT 2013

I just went through one of those self-frustration things over Native 
Instruments Maschine, hoping against hope that the Maschine hardware 
controller had enough dedicated buttons and shortcuts so that I could 
run it with the hardware controller alone.
The associated software is all bit map, as usual for Native Instruments.
I found some video tutorials, with a very competant sighted dude 
absolutely depending on his screen to navigate the menus.
The manufacturer always tries to make running the gear sound so easy, 
but you know that's just a sales pitch, and there are plenty of 
instances where there's no shortcut or dedicated controller key for an 
action.
So, I came to reality and gave up the idea of running Maschine, even 
though it comes with thousands of stunning NI loops and samples, and you 
can combine them into songs in a few minutes, instead of the hours.
it requires doing it with just a daw.
Afterwards I ran into a $49 VST that simulates a 16 pad sample player, 
and all its menus are accessible from screen graphics, unfortunately not 
labeled, but it can do anything that Maschine or an Akai MPC does.
I'm going to try to get the author to provide it with tool tips and 
screen labels before frustrating anyone here with it, but it looks 
promising.

I could assign it's onscreen pads to my old M-Audio Trigger finger; and 
I'd have a sample assembler very close to NI's Maschine; unfortunately 
lacking those thousands of gorgeous NI loops and samples that come with 
Maschine.
