Opacity slider for Adobe Illustrator
- Slider potentiometer.
- Teensy PCB.
- Patch them together and upload the firmware.
- Open Ai, go to Edit → Keyboard Shortcuts, search for the ‘Opacity’ and assign the keys.
- Use midiStroke for the MIDI-to-keystrokes conversion. Add MidiPipe if you need to use more than one controller for your setup.
- Done. Unfortunately it is discrete (0% → 10% → 20% → ...) and a bit sluggish (but so the Palette Gear is) but worth trying if you like having physical controllers for the stuff like this.
