the track pad is my favourite expression tool (and i bought and had 
custom-made a LOT of midi/usb devices, including sensors and web cams)

but


when talking about teh values hi receives from the trackpad, you are 
right i can receive 3 differents "streams" of them, but it's either 2 
at a time (which seem to be the "normal" track pad x-y) OR the 3rd 
one (the extra finger) but no way (at least on my computer) to 
receive all 3 at the same time, and worse to receive the 3rd one when 
I use the track pad the usual way..

since the 2nd finger started to work on my Pbook, only with the help 
of iScroll app (it is not "standart" as it is on some newer macs) my 
question here is if on your machine you can vary the values of all 3 
streams at the same time

many thanks

best
