For anyone else desperately trying to find workarounds...unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything. I've tried:
- OSC: for reasons posted here where it just drops out of automation writing. In addition to the fact that it doesn't release when you release the control.
- basic touch screen manipulation: doesn't work because of the way Windows applies a "dead zone" to touch input. There is a way around this since other developers of drawing apps, etc. seem to be able to get around it. Also, no multitouch which is a known limitation.
- ReaLearn: doesn't work since it drops out of touch as soon as there is a lack of data.
So it seems touch is just not available except by mouse (which doesn't help since I need to control multiple faders at once) or possibly other controllers (which I no longer want to own). Really hope this gets fixed soon
