Re: Mackie LCD emulation

Karl is trying to get a group together to code something cross 
platform, I think? Java perhaps???

Right, Karl?

He has the source from C# huskervu now and one of the old mackie 
manuals.
I am not a coder, so I can't be much help coding. 
I did however, build GenMce 
http://shoshin.110mb.com/genmce/
with synthedit. 
It is not necessary with the bcr or bcf. The presets work great for 
mackie mode.  It also is not cross platform. It would be great if it 
were...
