<span style="color:blue">Hi Murray Saul,<br /><br />I will have a look at the script presently, bit bogged down in work at the moment.<br /><br />1. Currently there is no way to get the -geometry to work so window position is still dependent on what your window manager wants to do. Now I was avoiding the use of -geom because of issues with 'WxH' since the windows actually want to impose their own aspect ratio on the window. If you want to see the issue try the following:<br /><br />startBristol -mini -ar<br /><br />Then change the size of the window - make it really wide. It works but it eventually doesn't look right. So, if I honour WxH+X+Y then aspect ratio will almost always be broken. Having said that I am quite interested in just +X+Y as an option and will look into how easily that can be integrated for you.<br /><br />2. There are not a great deal of keyboard shortcuts to the GUI - are you looking to change parameters? If you place the mouse over a drawbar and press <Shift><Up> it will move the control but the only other keyboard control was to play the synth.<br /><br />This is actually another pretty cool idea of yours though. At the moment if you put the mouse over a potmeter or slider and press the middle mouse button, then move a control on your midi surface it will link them together. That could be done,
theoretically, for the ASCII keyboard. If you don't want to play the synth from your QWERTY then <middlemouse><ASCII KEY> could also map to the control such that the key is down and <Shift><Key> is up?<br /><br />Now as an alternative, try using the -cli option. This opens a CLI for the synth but it only works for one synth per command line window. It does have key
mappings for controller movement though.<br /><br />kind regards nick.</span>
