Perhaps a more detailed explanation of what is happening, and what
exactly you want to happen, would help?

is just crazy imo. You might as well just animate the bones direct. The point
of my idea is to have predefined poses for the hands that are hooked up to
sliders, so you can easily blend into hand poses. Then if you need to tweak
those you can just animate the bones to override it. I just think it would be
nicer, and its what I'm used to doing in other packages. I guess this isn't
possible though.

default xsi rig way of doing it is pretty decent, where you have a proxy
parameter set of sliders and also a set of saved actions on the bones for
different poses...

am trying to do is blend between static poses to control fingers. This doesn't
seem possible with normalized mixing or additive. When I say blend between
static poses I mean change the weight vaue for the track. So I have a track for
each finger position and set the track weights to get different poses. Does
that make sense? If theres a better way to do it, I'm all ears, or hands, or
whatever. ;-)
