Hi Daniel. I'm not sure i'm following. Why are you are using
applescript->midiPipe to control a dissolve?

thank you for the file MJ, it helped to get new ideas.
i now use an applescript controlling midiPipe, using a "for to"
loop increasing the velocity of a note to start the dissolve and
another loop doing the opposite to dissolve back. the random
chosen video i do control also through that script. good that i can
steer QC using MIDI. i do not think this would have been possible
without MIDI.
thank you for your fast answer again!
