# 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.

# PROTOCOL DOCUMENTATION: If you want to see for yourself how all this works,
# comprehensive information about the Mackie MCU protocol can be found on
# https://mackie.com; search for the MCU Pro owner's manual in this file:
# MCU_Pro-XT_Pro_OM.pdf. Unfortunately, the APCmini is not nearly as well
# documented, but relevant information can be found in the Ableton forums

# PROTOCOL DOCUMENTATION: The Mackie protocol is fairly ubiquitous, but since
# the 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 MCU-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:
