CONTROL SURFACES
MIXCRAFT DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MY CONTROLLER!
If the devices is a natively recognized control surfaces, make sure you’ve added it in
Preferences>Control Surfaces in the Main Window menus. Natively recognized control
surfaces include Mackie Control (or others supporting the Mackie Control format),
Novation Launchpad, Frontier Design Group TranzPort, and the Acoustica Mixcraft
Remote mobile app.
If you’re using a generic MIDI control surface, go to the Control Surface Details dialog
box in Mix>MIDI Control Surface in the Main Window menus and make sure the
device is selected, or set the Surfaces drop-down menu to Any for Mixcraft to receive
control surface messages from all connected controller devices. If your device is not
listed in the Device drop-down, check that it’s plugged in and that the necessary drivers
have been installed. You may need to close and re-open the Control Surface Details
dialog to display new devices.
MIXCRAFT RECOGNIZES SOME KNOBS OR BUTTONS ON MY CONTROLLER, BUT
WON'T RESPOND TO OTHER KNOBS OR BUTTONS.
Mixcraft's controls can be set to respond to MIDI Continuous Controller (CC) message,
or specific notes on your keyboard. Some controllers only send MIDI Machine Control
(MMC) or other types of system-exclusive data that Mixcraft does not respond to -
just because it has a bunch of sliders and a MIDI jack, that doesn’t necessarily mean
it transmits MIDI CC messages. (We’re lookin’ at you, Roland JD-800 synth owners.)
With that said, most newer MIDI or USB devices with a bunch of knobs/sliders/buttons
usually do transmit MIDI CC data. (Check your controller's manual.)
