Hey there,
atm I am trying to optimize my mpd26. I recognized that I only used say 20 percent of it. I´ve written some simple remote maps for the knobs and faders, so that I don`t have to use remote override all the time.
Looking through the original mapping from akai I saw, that there must be a possibility to switch between multiple uses for the faders.
When working with the mixer 14:2 for example I only have faders 1-6 but I want to control the other 8 faders of the mixer, too. There must be a switch to control the other faders (7-12), cause in the original mapping you can see it.

Code: Select all

Scope	Propellerheads	Mixer 14:2
Define Group	Keyboard Shortcut Variations	Levels and Pan 1-6	Levels and Pan 7-12	Levels and Sends 1-6	Levels and Sends 7-12	Levels and Sends 13-14
//	Control Surface Item	Key	Remotable Item	Scale	Mode

Unfortunately I don`t know how. Found nothing in the manual, so I ask you kindly: Is there anyone out there who is able and willing to help?
You would make my life so much easier! ;)

This is done via groups. In your example there is already a group defined but it is for keyboard short cuts.
If you want to select groups with your midi controller, you need to choose two buttons of your midi controller which you want to use as a group switch. The buttons must be available/defined as a remotable item in the remote codec. To find out you have to look at the remote codec (lua file) or have a look at the remotemap of the controller which buttons are available.

In the remotemap you have to add the the following lines to the line mixer scope

Code: Select all

Define Group	FaderGroup Faders1-6	Faders7-12
Map	Button 1	FaderGroup=Faders1-6
Map	Button 2	FaderGroup=Faders7-12

Map	Fader 1		Channel 1 Level			Faders1-6
... and so on

Map	Fader 7		Channel 7 Level			Faders7-12
... and so on
This is just an example for faders but most likely you would control more than just faders in one group page, so you´d adjust the group names to a name that fits better.
