This is a great addition Otis. I've been imagining something like it but I don't have your skillz!

On my midi controller (GM s2) I have 7 sliders. But I also have 10 banks, and then 10 performances in each bank.

Each performance can have CC's assigned to the sliders. So what I've got is this:

Perf 1 has all the sliders assigned to CC 3, but on 7 different midi channels.

All the other perfs have the same thing but with a different CC. So if I want to control lots of different things, all I have to do is change performance.

Not a perfect solution, but very workable.

quinoo,

Since the thread’s been dormant for 20 years, you have a major problem with Apple silicon.

The program is written for the Power PC processors used in Macs before they switched to Intel processors. Apple Silicon cannot run this program, period.
