Mackie
provided no MIDI implementation chart, or any
other
hints about remapping the controls.
Imagine my frustration, when I wanted to map a couple of control pedals in for specific DP functions (Play and Punch).
Having
mapped out what MIDI messages it sends for
all
the knows and buttons, I though I would share.
So....
Notes:
CW = ClockWise rotation of a rotary encoder
(VPot or
Scrub Wheel). Translation: message sent when turning it "up"
CCW = Counter ClockWise rotation of a rotary
encoder
(VPot or Scrub Wheel). Translation: message sent when turning it
"down."
When the VPots are rotated rapidly CW, a message
equal
to the number of clicks is sent.
When the VPots are rotated rapidly CCW, a "65"
is sent
followed by a message equal to the number of clicks is sent. Think of
65
as "sign indicator."
The Zero label at middle of fader travel = zero in Pitch Wheel Position data.
The Red Area has different labels (lexan overlays) depending on the DAW to which the Mackie Control is attached. See the note at the Red Area table.
