This is a version of Eric Messick's ShuttlePRO program which has been redesigned to use Jack MIDI instead of the Contour Design Shuttle devices that the original program was written for.
ShuttlePRO was written in 2013 by Eric Messick, based on earlier code by Trammell Hudson (<hudson@osresearch.net>) and Arendt David (<admin@prnet.org>). The present version of the program, written by Albert Graef, is actually based on his [fork of ShuttlePRO][agraef/ShuttlePRO]. All the translation features of the original program are still there (in particular, key and mouse translations work exactly the same), but it goes without saying that the code has undergone some significant changes to accommodate the MIDI input and output facilities. The Jack MIDI driver code is based on code from Spencer Jackson's osc2midi utility, and on the simple_session_client.c example available in the Jack git repository.
