ACT?

My question is about the ACT function. I've been fiddling with it and would like to use my MACKIE MCU or my Korg Triton to act as a controller for VST plug-ins. Currently my MCU is is up and running, works great for the usual track functions but can't seem to figure out how to use it to control plug-ins. I've read the manual but not getting anywhere with it.

I have read the "help" and read my book but it's not sinking in for me. Any ideas where I might get a more detailed "how-to" in this regard?


Thanks!

    The Mackie Control surface plugin does not yet support ACT.

    Thanks to you both,

    I have already seen the videos and that is in part why I stepped up to 6.x. That seems like a very cool tool. I'm hearing that the Mackie MCU doesn't work for this but then, can the Korg Triton? There isn't a "control suface" option to use the Korg as a controller.

    Again, thanks for the replies.
