Re: BC Manager 2.4.1 released!

Ok, Thanks. I think I'll just have to check it out in practice. 

As I mentioned I'm pretty new at this so at this (theoretical) point I can't really tell what's usefull to me. Even with MIDI-learn or ACT-control I can set several messages to one knob so..

On the other hand I understand it's likely that a program specifically written for a controller should offer great control.
