Re: Customized Mackie emulation ?

2009-01-14 by lorcan_music

Thanks for your tips !
But I guess Behringer have a programmed more stuff in MCU mode,
because Cubase does send updates to the controller everytime you
change a value directly on screen with the mouse in the software.
For example, the led rings are updated to reflect pan settings.
I just thought it might have been possible to do the same with
BCManager and BC mode but I haven't found a solution (yet ?)

Thanks
