one hardware button, several DAW channel mutes?

Is this possible to set up with this app?

I am looking to be able to control/toggle several channel mutes of my chosing in the DAW (Logic) with one button on my Behringer BCF2000. And hence be able to build mute groups for dubbing, that don't affect or link any other parameters between the channels.

Anyone done this?

It's very easy to do. All you have to do is have multiple output messages tied to the same input. You can either build multiple translators or have one translator with more than one output.

As an example of the latter

Code: Select all

Translator 1: Group 1 Mute
Incoming Message: 90 00 pp
Rules: None
Outgoing Message: 90 00 pp 90 01 p 90 02 pp 90 03 pp

And with that the incoming message will trigger multiple outputs.

Great! Is there a 'learn' type function to add all the destinations, or do I have to type them in in numbers?

If you use multiple signals in each translator (a long list like I showed) then it has to be typed.

If you use one translator for each outgoing message, each with the same incoming message, then they can be learned.
