+-- Trackpad input by Paul Hedderly
+-- Expects three sources X, Y and touch
+-- On the Korg Nanopad2 these would be nanoP.ch0.cc1, nanoP.ch0.cc2, nanoP.ch0.cc16
+-- so you could map and feed this script with something like:
+--	[midi nanoP]
+--	read = nanoPAD2
+--	write = nanoPAD2
+--	[lua trackpad]
+--	script = trackpad.lua
+-- ..	
+--	nanoP.ch0.cc1 > trackpad.x
+-- 	nanoP.ch0.cc2 > trackpad.y
+-- 	nanoP.ch0.cc16 > trackpad.touch
+--
+-- Each touch will generate four outputs
+-- - on[1-9] - the first point of touch (might not be very useful!)
+-- - off[1-9] - the final point of touch
+-- - swipe[1-9][1-9] - the first and last as a *simple* gesture or swipe
+-- - gesture[1-9]..[1-9] - every segment you touch in order so you can do complicated gestures
+--
+-- Each output of 1 is followed by an output of 0
+-- You would map these as
+-- 	trackpad.on3 > ...
+-- 	trackpad.off9 > ....
+-- 	trackpad.swipe17 > .... -- would catch a line from top left to bottom left but could go anywhere in between
+-- 	trackpad.gesture78965 > .... would catch a backwards capital L starting at the bottom left
+
+-- -- Reserve state variables

+lpos=""

+function x(v) -- NOTE the code assumes that we get an X before the Y - Some devices might differ!
+	x=math.floor((v+0.09)*2.55)
+end
+
+function y(v)
+	y=2-math.floor((v+0.09)*2.55)	-- 2- so that we have 1 at the top
+	pos=""..x+1+y*3 			-- we need a string to compare
+	lpos=string.sub(trace,-1)
