This
mxm provides MIDI controls for audio boards. It assumes that the audio-sliders
are controlled by the “control change”. It has also commands for “Program
Change”, “Note On” & “Note Off”.
Note about positrack: only the “Send cue” command
is positracked. As all the audio boards don’t have the same behavior,
the “Program change” (generally used for sending memories)
and the “Note on/off” (generally used for muting),
are not positracked.
