[Gimp-user] Using rotary encoders etc.

[Chalisque <forums gimpusers com>]

Something which has always been a frustration is that, generally, MIDI control
surfaces are thought of as a music-only thing, to some degree.

What I'd love to be able to easily do in GIMP, is to plug in, e.g. a control
surface like a Behringer BCR2000 (large number of rotary encoders), and
configure it so that I can change e.g. colours or brush sizes by twiddle knobs
on the controller. More generally, a way that I can send messages to GIMP from
anywhere to do things like changing brush size. From GIMP's end, all you really
need is a generic 'numerical event' functionality, and then separate daemons
which listen to other events, and send appropriate messages to GIMP.
