# This is an improved configuration for the X-Touch ONE which uses an internal
# SHIFT key instead. Setting up your own bindings in midizap offers a lot more
# possibilities than relying solely on your DAW's mapping abilities (you can
# still use those in conjunction with midizap, too).

# NOTE: This assumes that you use the default Mackie mode of the ONE.
# Otherwise you will have to adjust the mapping accordingly. I use the SCRUB
# key (F8 in MC mode) as a SHIFT key replacement, because I don't need that
# function (it's not available in Ardour yet). If you need that key, you'll
# have to use another one that you can spare.

F8 SHIFT ^F8 RELEASE SHIFT ^F8

# Remap the shifted F1 .. F4 keys to do something useful. I have them bound to
# the most important encoder assignment keys here, but of course you can
# change them to anything you want.

^F#4 E3   # Track (Trim)
^G4  F#3  # Pan
^G#4 F3   # Send
^A4  G3   # Plugin (not supported by Ardour)

# If you're using the bindings above, then most likely you also need the FLIP
# button which swaps fader and encoder; we (rather arbitrarily) assign it to
# the shifted SOLO button in the TRANSPORT section.

# Here's an alternative binding to the utility keys which you may find useful.
# Uncomment these lines (and comment out the encoder assignment section above)
# to use these instead.

# Since the X-Touch ONE is a single-channel controller, I like to have the
# bank and channel keys linked up with channel SELECT, so that the current
# channel is also selected in the DAW when switching banks. Therefore I have
# bound these functions to the shifted bank and channel keys here, but of
# course you can change them to anything you want.

# NOTE: You might have to configure a bank size of 1 for the ONE, so that all
# tracks become accessible. A suitable device description for Ardour is
# included (see x-touch-one.device).

^A#3 A#3 C2   # BANK< SELECT
^B3  B3  C2   # BANK> SELECT
^C4  C4  C2   # CHAN< SELECT
^C#4 C#4 C2   # CHAN> SELECT

# Pass through the shifted cursor keys. This assumes that they're already
# mapped to something in the DAW; e.g., I have the shifted left/right keys
# bound to the previous/next marker functions in Ardour.

# NOTE: We use an explicit RELEASE sequence here, so that the SHIFT key (A#5)
# is released last. By default, midizap will release MIDI key events in the
# same order in which they are pressed, which may not work in some key
# combinations, since the SHIFT key gets released too early. (At least I found
# that this confuses Ardour in some cases, YMMV.)

^C8  A#5 C8  RELEASE C8  A#5 # Up
^C#8 A#5 C#8 RELEASE C#8 A#5 # Down
^D8  A#5 D8  RELEASE D8  A#5 # Left
^D#8 A#5 D#8 RELEASE D#8 A#5 # Right

# With the translations below, most other shifted keys in the CHANNEL and
# TRANSPORT sections are simply passed through along with the SHIFT key as
# well. You can either assign these combinations in the DAW, or edit the
# bindings below.

# Experiment with shifted controls. This remaps the shifted fader, encoder and
# jog wheel on the ONE to CC1..CC3. As these controls aren't used by MCP, they
# can be assigned freely, e.g., to some plugin parameters, using MIDI learn.
# (To make this work in Ardour, you have to connect midizap's midi_out port to
# Ardour's MIDI control in port, in addition to the Mackie control in port.)

# NOTE: Touching the fader also emits a note message (G#8), which will get in
# the way with MIDI learn, so we disable it here.
