I'm trying to automate interaction with a knob in Cubase. MetaGrid Pro (MGP) is an iPad-based control surface app that connects to your Mac via a companion app called MetaServer. One of its button types is a momentary latch — it fires one action on press and a separate action on release, similar to how a physical button works when held down.
What I need to accomplish is:
- On button press: move the mouse to a specific location, click and hold, then drag upward slowly over time
- On button release: stop the drag and release the mouse button
My questions:
- Is it possible to perform a slow drag upward over a set duration in BTT?
- Can a BTT action initiated on press be cleanly terminated by a separate release trigger?
- Is there a way to offset the mouse position relative to a found image, rather than just snapping to center/corners?
I'm also fairly comfortable with Keyboard Maestro, so splitting the work between KM and BTT is fine — I just haven't been able to get the two communicating reliably, so any advice on that front would also be welcome.
Any help appreciated.
