Examples

This folder contains a couple of sample midizap configurations for different controllers:

  • APCmini.midizaprc: Mackie emulation for the AKAI APCmini

  • Maschine.midizaprc: Mackie emulation for the NI Maschine Mk3 (this requires Harry v. Haaren's Ctlra software to make the device work in Linux, please check the config for detailed instructions)

  • MPKmini2.midizaprc: minimal Mackie emulation for the AKAI MPKmini Mk2 keyboard

  • nanoKONTROL2.midizaprc: fix up the marker keys of the Korg nanoKONTROL2 in Cubase mode for use in Ardour

  • XTouchMini.midizaprc: adds a bunch of Mackie control functions to make the device more useful in MC mode

  • XTouchONE.midizaprc: adds a bunch of Mackie control functions to make the device more useful in MC mode

Other interesting items:

  • x-touch-one.device: X-Touch ONE device description for Ardour 5.12 (this is basically the X-Touch description with a bank size of 1, so that all tracks become accessible)

    Installation: Copy the x-touch-one.device file to your ~/.config/ardour5/mcp/ directory and select "Behringer X-Touch ONE" as your Mackie control surface in Ardour's preferences dialog.

    Note: You can also use my patched-up version of Ardour 5.12 instead, which fixes up the single-channel bank changes so that the X-Touch ONE will work nicely with Ardour without having to set the bank size to 1 (which will be problematic if you use the ONE in combination with other Mackie controllers which require a larger bank size). You can find the sources here: https://github.com/agraef/ardour/tree/5.12-ag-mcpfixes. Make sure to check out the 5.12-ag-mcpfixes branch. This also has a few other bugfixes in the MCP code which will become available with Ardour 6.0, but aren't in the upstream 5.12 tree.
