Mackie Control Protocol

[sephult]

Hello All!

After much searching...not very much answers...I decided to just do it myself and convert my d8b to a full-fledge Mackie Control implementation.
I already hacked and sniffed all the messages....just ready to do implementation.

Before I completely rewrite...has anyone already attempted implementing the Mackie protocol (MCU not HUI)?
I didn't want to do redundant work as there is a lot. I think I might have found something older...but I was just wondering if anyone has recently implemented.

I am hoping to try to implement via script first, and then maybe create a Generic Module for Mackie Emulation hopefully both a MIDI and Serial conversion.

The Mackie control mode in the midi learn tab don't do the job ?

Cool, to tell you the truth I didn't realize they were there. I think I searched the wiki but could not find any info on. Unfortunately this doesn't help.

I am actually taking a d8b which only has HUI. The DB25 cable between the CPU and the console is serial driven...and I sniffed and decoded the messages. Now I just need to do the conversion from serial to a Mackie Control Universal mode. So essentially I can convert this thing into an MCU and two MCU Extenders for full 24 channel, and full-board support.

I did just find the info...still trying to decipher...but Reapers SDK has an included Cpp that gives a lot of information about. This is probably the most extensive I could find anywhere so far.
