Is it possible to send basic MIDI CC from the console per ACT ?

Ok, I found the sonaract.xml file. But there, control works over a "surface control id" ... no standard MIDI messages to be found.

And since my VS700C is connected as "VS700C" and not as "Generic MIDI Device", I can't use it for standard MIDI messages.

I guess, I'll have to buy something like Korg Nanokontrol for standard MIDI CC.

If ACT offered MIDI CC as an option [in case of a plugin not offering a automatable plugin for a particular parameter], I could use what I already have.

I am trying to use the ACT controls (e.g. the T-Bar) to send costum MIDI CC messages to a plugin, that uses CC, but does not have them 'automatable' (as required for ACT), which means: there is no button or slider for that particular CC control on the plugin GUI.

Like CC88 or CC109, what ever.

When you use the VS700c, you have it 'mapped' to Sonar, like it's supposed to be. However per ACT, as you know for sure, we can use costum controls for plugins. However, ACT only works with automatable parameters. Otherwise you can't program ACT, like generic MIDI Devices, to send, let's say: CC75.

This is no big deal, because it is not designed to send programmable standard MIDI CC Messages, like any generic MIDI device does. But I suppose, it could be implemented quite easily.


Or maybe I'm missing something here.
