Hot Spot Clicker.  It's an application developed by Jim Snowbarger.  It
interfaces with Jaws and allows the user to set-up keystrokes to click
on icons on screen.  So in other words, you could say, create hotspots
for a softsynthe that is inaccessible.
 
Having said all that, I doubt that you would be able to use it with CT
as you need access to the jaws .jss file in order to integrate Hot Spot
Clicker into the application that you are using.
 
Hot Spot Clicker is totally integrated into the free Jaws Sonar scripts.
So, in other words, you could download and install the hotspot clicker
application from:
 
www.snowmanradio.com/
 
Then, go and get the free scripts from:
 
www.jsonar.org/
 
fire up Sonar, and you will receive a message about the fact that Hot
Spot Clicker has been integrated into Sonar.

Did you try with HSC? You can tell HSC to click certain spot.

Ki,
    Ivory is not very accessible.  I can't reliably place my cursor on a
point from where I can hit the left mouse button and bring up the list
of available pianos.  I can do it with a mouse because I have enough
vision to do that.  However, if any other Ivory users know of a reliable
means of getting the cursor to a point where the list of pianos can be
triggered, let me know.  the best thing to do is to have sighted
assistance in developing a series of track templates with your favorites
already loaded.

Yes, I love Synthogy Ivory sound.
I don't know much about accessibility though.
Can someone comment on its accessibility??

I don't think they are anything special.  If you want a soft synth
piano, you need to go with ivory or the grand II.

Hi.  I've seen some discussion on the dimension virtual instrument but
have people been talking about the standard version of the pro version
which has an extra 3 gigs of samples?  I have Hypersonic 2 and while
some of the patches are great, I find the pianos and harpsichord quite
disappointing.  Are the Cakewalk dimension pro pianos in particular any
better?

 

Also, regarding virtual instruments that are strictly for piano, what
would the best one be to purchase?  And what would be useable in Sonar 4
with jaws and cake talking?  This is mostly for solo piano work so I
need something that is very realistic and rich sounding.  Any
recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

Cameron.
