Hello to the list. I can't think of the name of the particular control surface but there was one mentioned some years ago that made the functions not 100 percent accessable but pretty close but I can't remember what it was at this point. This is the frustrating thing about this kind of thing is that it is 1 step then 2 steps back then 2 steps forward and 1 or 2 steps back. It seems as though we will never catch up but I know it takes time. You almost need to have someone who is blind doing some part time work with this company to test the software when it is an alpha version and or beta so this person can say no this is broke, you need to redo this or that. Some one had sed if you want to add midi tracks to a project that this was unaccessable from the keyboard of the mac but is there any way around this using a control surface? It would be interesting to have a list of the current limitations of the software so you know what you can do and what can not be done at this point. I realize that is a little hard to do because the list would change from release to the next release for the better or worse at this point.

This has been the goal for at least the last ten years with Pro Tools, to have it 100% accessible, but unfortunatly it is one step forward and two steps back at this point. Yes control surfaces do give a greater amount of accessibility for blind people, but it is all still limmeted. ----- Original Message ----- From: Kenneth T Son To: ptaccess@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, May 29, 2013 3:16 PM Subject: A comment and question Hello to the list. One thing I am wondering about. Are there control boards or consoles that one can connect to the computer running Protools that allow functions to be performed from that control surface? Could a person use these control consoles to do functions with Protools that can not be done from the mac keyboard? One idea I would think would be to get the Protools software accessable to a point and the controls that were not accessable from the mac keyboard could be done from one of these control surfaces or consoles. This whole issue has me verry concerned. If the protools software could be made accessable 100 percent, just think what opportunitys this could open up to young blind students who are intrested in multitrack recording. This could be possible employment for some in studios making a good living at what they love to do.
