Re: Mackie LCD emulation

2008-03-19 by stutterbrain

no coding ability whatsoever myself I'm afraid, but that definately
doesn't go for everyone on the list.
Is the aim to provide an emulation in some form? I am quite happily
emulating the functions I want just with midi presets on the bcr. I
have no controllers with LCDs of much use, I think Novation are
probably the only ones I can think of, and the korg microkontrol
(which I miss)...
