First I will give you an introduction about these two devices (Midi-controller and a graphic tablet with a pen) in Adobe Lightroom and then I will ask you some questions.
Introduction
To start with, why should you use these two devices together in Adobe Lightroom? The most important answer to this question is to reduce RSI. What is RSI? A repetitive strain injury (RSI), sometimes referred to as repetitive stress injury, is a gradual build-up of damage to muscles, tendons, and nerves from repetitive motions. RSIs are common and may be caused by many different types of activities, like using a computer mouse and typing. A second reason to use these devices together in Adobe Lightroom is to enhance your image processing workflow. In other words, if you use these two devices together in Adobe Lightroom, you will be less using a computer mouse and typing, improve your performance and reducing in getting RSI.
If you do Internet-search, you will notice that these devices are discussed separately, but not discussed in working together in Adobe Lightroom. What advantage do these two devices have if you use them together in Adobe Lightroom. To start with, the graphic tablet with a pen, you can use the pen as a brush and with the MIDI-controller you can use it to change parameters like exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, and so on for more than 90% of your work. These parameters are controlled using sliders that you have to drag with your mouse — sliders that emulate physical controls.
But here is the problem in using these two devices together in Adobe Lightroom: both have a lot of knobs, buttons and sliders (depends on which models you use in Adobe Lightroom). In other words, you have to make choices in which knob, button and slider is assign in Adobe Lightroom. Questions like: do I use all of the knobs, buttons and sliders of the two devices or do I make a small choice (example: pen for brushes and knobs for changing parameters like exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows, and so on in Adobe Lightroom).
My Questions are:

My Questions are:
- Has anyone use these two devices together in Adobe Lightroom?
- If you use these two devices together in Adobe Lightroom or after reading the introduction want to use both devices in Adobe Lightroom, which layout (assigning knobs, buttons and sliders in Adobe Lightroom) would you choose?
