# Mackie emulation for the AKAI APCmini
# This turns the APCmini into a Mackie-compatible controller, so that it can
# be used with Linux DAW programs like Ardour. The emulation is complicated
# by the APCmini having no encoders, no motorized faders, and not nearly as
# many dedicated buttons as a Mackie device. But it offers enough controls to
# be usable as a basic DAW controller. Tested with Ardour.

# SETUP: In Ardour, enable the Mackie control surface, then connect Ardour's
# Mackie control ports to midizap's midi_out and midi_in2 ports, and the
# APCmini to midizap's midi_in and midi_out2 ports. The following lines will
# take care of setting up all the connections automatically, but you still
# need to enable the Mackie control surface in Ardour, so that Ardour exposes
# the Mackie control ports.

# PROTOCOL DOCUMENTATION: The Mackie protocol is fairly ubiquitous, but since
# manufacturers can't be bothered to properly *document* their stuff these
# days, we have to rely on volunteers who do their work using some reverse
# engineering. Here are the links that I found most useful:
# http://www.budgetfeatures.com/XctlDOC/Xctl Protocol for X-Touch V1.0.pdf
# (This chart really is a piece of art. It's actually about the Behringer
# X-Touch, but since that device is Mackie-compatible, there's a wealth of
# useful information in there; just ignore the bits which pertain to Xctl.)
# There's another fairly comprehensive one here (lacks the feedback messages,
