joshua kit clayton was using a wacom tablet for a while, controlling 
max/msp. the surface of the tablet was divided into a complex 
arrangement of different areas that would do different things - a row 
of sliders here, some buttons there, granular parameter accessible 
through the pen angle here. of course he had a picture of the layout 
taped to the wacom. if that's not enough you could have multiple 
template overlays for different pieces... if you are programming in 
max you can do whatever you want with the raw data from the tablet.

as i recall, he ran into some accuracy problems with the tablet, and 
i believe he now has a motormix. but i was comparing my 
lombard/motormix setup to his pismo/wacom: both fit into backpacks, 
but the pismo/wacom was WAY lighter. and less bulky.

i don't care, i am hooked on the motormix.
