# MCU emulation for the AKAI APCmini

JACK_NAME "midizap-APCmini"
JACK_PORTS 2

# This emulation is somewhat limited since the APCmini has no encoders and no
# motorized faders, but it should be good enough for basic mixing.  Tested in
# Ardour (configure as a Mackie surface, connect midizap's midi_output port to
# Ardour's "mackie control in" port, and vice versa Ardour's "mackie control
# out" to midizap's midi_in2).

# TODO: Figure out whether there's a way to flip the controls so that the
# faders can be used for panning.  I tried assigning the MCU flip key as well
# as the various MCU shift keys, but except for the standard shift key they
# don't seem to do anything. :(  The standard shift key (A#5, bound to the
# APCmini's shift key D8 below) works, though, and can be used, e.g., to
# shift-select tracks, and to operate the faders in a group together
