Ugh, I feel like every few months someone is posting that they're writing a custom setup for the BCx units and it's a panacea for all control-needing nerds everywhere...this is at least the third discreet effort I've seen.
And I am one of such, but not for Bx at the moment... For everything without endless rotors and motorized faders, my solution is "ultimate" ;)
I would just like to see one of these projects reach a 1.0 milestone and be ready for prime time.
Open source/not commercial projects relay on motivation and final users activity in testing, proposals, etc.
I think Cakewalk is not actively developing CS part because there is not sufficient number of customers for which it is important. The situation with my own plug-in just confirm that: not much interest and absolutely no response.
It's really a shame that there is no support for the prochannel stuff here and that the EQ bits stopped working, but as I understand it, this is more of a Mackie protocol issue than a BCF problem.
That is SONAR issuer. All plug-ins (Mackie, MIDI, etc). are using the same API. To reliably control PC EQ, very special tricks are required to deal with API bugs.
Anyone know what has become of the somewhat-recently-open-sourced Mackie stuff for non-developers?
If you mean Mackie plug-in source for SONAR, it is what it is. So everyone can make it work for own CS (with sufficient knowledge in C++ and paid version of VC).
