Give shutdown when pressed and up/down volume. Not sure on exact syntacs but you can see approach. “Griffin PowerMate” “” any rel/7/-1 “Shell/mpc volume -2” “Griffin PowerMate” “” any rel/7/1 “Shell/mpc volume +2” “Griffin PowerMate” “” any key/256 “Shell/shutdown -hF now” “Griffin PowerMate” “” any rel/7/-1 “XButton/4” “Griffin PowerMate” “” any rel/7/1 “XButton/5” “Griffin PowerMate” “” any key/256 “XButton/2” It also offers hotkey-like functions, and can help existing modern applications deal with events that, for one reason or another, X11 is unaware of (as long as they are accessible through a Linux event device). EvRouter is intended to help legacy applications understand modern events such as mouse wheel movement and special keys on keyboards. Currently, EvRouter can map events to X11 key and button presses, XMMS commands, and it can also run shell commands. You can set volume to zero to mute tho.ĮvRouter reads events from the Linux input layer, and acts on them according to a user-specified set of rules. Seems you can not do a “mpc toggle” command to a playing shairport or dlna audio cast stream. I currently believe the following may be best way to integrate the Griffin Powermate into Volumio. Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong here.There appears to be several approaches to this device. I would really like to be able to use the PM to scrub, and was delighted to read about your utility. Logic would not add it into my preferences, giving me an error message along the lines 'no devices available'. I also use a BCF2000 control surface thou USB. I downloaded ShuttlePuck for use in Logic 9 under OSX Sierra. Or, better yet would be a way to tell the DAW that the ShuttlePuck shouldn't occupy any tracks at all, but I don't know if that is possible with the HUI spec. To that end, I should probably add a bank-switching feature to ShuttlePuck, to move which bank of tracks it is (uselessly, because it doesn't send track commands) occupying. So, it's possible that ShuttlePuck might "occupy" a bank of 8 tracks, and make those tracks inaccessible to another HUI controller. They don't (as far as I know) ever allow for two controllers to simultaneously control the same bank of 8 tracks. HUI works with banks of 8 tracks at a time, and there's some internal logic to how DAWs handle bank assignments. In my experience, the only conflicts I've seen with multiple HUI controllers connected to a DAW are track bank conflicts.

The software is free, though, so please give it a try if you have DTouch and a PowerMate (reminding that ShuttlePuck is only working on Macs for now). I could be very interested in this, if I knew if it could work in conjunction with DTouch.ShuttlePuck can work alongside other HUI controllers. I'll keep my eye on it, though, and it's possible that firmware upgrades for the device will be able to address some of these issues.
#Griffin powermate driver os x Bluetooth#
So, even if you're willing to deal with the batteries and Bluetooth connection issues of the wireless option, you're still left with what is reportedly an inferior user experience. See some of these user reviews on Griffin's own site for more details on that. User reviews suggest that the PowerMate Bluetooth does not have as good a feel/action as the original USB version, and it's not as heavy or not as grippy, so it tends to slide around on a worksurface.

Either one if they have the same functionality and there's well behaved bluetooth adaptors for the windows desktop.When developing the ShuttlePuck application, I was initially into the idea of having it support the PowerMate Bluetooth as well as the PowerMate USB.Ī couple factors have put support for the Bluetooth version on hold - one is that it requires a computer with Bluetooth 4.0, and none of mine here are new enough to have that, so I'd have to deal with installing a new Bluetooth card or adapter. I'm going to test this later, if it works on my end, I'll leave a donation.
#Griffin powermate driver os x pro#
ReFuse SoftwareI bought the griffin power mate to use at a jog wheel in pro tools and never could get it to work. ShuttlePuck is being provided as donationware, and is currently available only for OS X.

ShuttlePuck allows you to use a Griffin PowerMate USB as a Jog/Scrub/Shuttle wheel in a HUI-compatible DAW (so far, we have tested it in Pro Tools and Cubase). However, if we created a little utility app that translated the PowerMate’s movements into Mackie HUI commands, then we would have a DIY jog wheel!Įnter our new application, ShuttlePuck. We looked into it, and there was no way to get jog/scrub/shuttle functionality from standard key commands (and therefore, no way to use Griffin’s standard control software to perform this task). What if the Griffin PowerMate USB control knob could be used as a jog/shuttle wheel while working in Pro Tools? A few months back, we had an idea that seemed so obvious, we were sure that somebody had done it already.
