Mackie HUI and the MT...

Hi Florian! I think the MT is a very interesting program! I seem to have a problem with my setup though... I'm not much of a MIDI guy, so I think you could help! My MIDI device is a Mackie HUI. All the buttons are grouped in groups of 8. Every button sends a six byte message of this form: B0 0F 1C
B0 2F 40
The first 3 bytes indicate the group and the next 3 indicate the specific button. So the buttons are coded like this:

Group 1
Buttons A B C D ...and so on
B0 0F 1C B0 0F 1C B0 0F 1C B0 0F 1C
B0 2F 40 B0 2F 41 B0 2F 42 B0 2F 43

Group 2
Buttons A B C D …and so on
B0 0F 14 B0 0F 14 B0 0F 14 B0 0f 14
B0 2F 40 B0 2F 41 B0 2F 42 B0 2F 43

If I enter on the MT the first three bytes(B0 0F 1C) then all the buttons of the group act the same, if I enter the next 3 bytes(B0 2F 41), the same buttons of all the different groups act the same!

Is there something I can do about that, or should I just wait for an upcoming version of the MT?

Thanks!

Indeed, currently MT cannot process multiple short messages as one incoming event. I'll record this as a planned feature for a future version (see Feature Requests forum).

just a quick follow-up (since this topic comes up every now and then):

This feature is implemented in Midi Translator for a long time, version 1.6.2 and later will allow to put multiple MIDI messages into the Incoming Action. That way it's easy to convert (N)RPN messages to controllers, and handle HUI efficiently.

Thanks,
Florian
