James,

  Thanks for the link, I'll heave a read up.
  Aurora may not have al these features, but I do have some ideas for
future projects.
FWIW, I have considered a joystick for the UI on Aurora, but with the
ability to record and playback it's motion (like the hartmann neuron) but
that's a long way off.
