Overview :

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.
