Title: [AZ, dede] M Audio CODE 61 preset
Post by: dede on April 19, 2018, 10:10:07 AM
Hi everybody, attached is the Code 61 preset Alexei generously developed for my new M AUDIO Code 61 controller, an awesome job making the best use of the AZ Controller plugin for Sonar. I'm impressed and full of gratitude.

it works like this:

TRANSPORT
Play = Play
Rec = Rec
Stop = Stop
FFW = Move to next measure
RWD = Move to previous measure

Transport mode, Button mode, Fader mode and Encoder mode must be set to Mackie mode.

FADERS
F1= Master bus (a bus with name "Master") volume
F2= Track WAI 1 volume
F3= Track WAI 2 volume
F4= Track WAI 3 volume
...
F9= Track WAI 8 volume

Bank buttons move focus to next group of (eight) tracks (when in Mackie mode)

BUTTONS
Shift+B1= changes buttons mode: Track-Rec-Solo-Mute
When set to "Track" button pressed brings focus to that track
when set to Rec button press arms/disarms that track for recording
When set to Solo or Mute, you guess...

B2= Track-Rec-Solo-Mute TRACK1
B3= Track-Rec-Solo-Mute TRACK2
B4= Track-Rec-Solo-Mute TRACK3

etc
etc

ENCODERS
E1= Pan pot (current focused track)
E2= First Send Level (current focused track)
E3= Second Send Level (current focused track)
E4= Third Send Level (current focused track)
E5= Last tweaked parameter (current focused Plugin or PC module)
E6= Jog-Wheel (navigate time line)
E7= Navigate Tracks
E8= WAI Bus output volume

Please note that E5 works with last "tweaked" parameter/control on plugin UI, not last "touched" so you have to click on that button and actually move it in order to Code61 focus on that parameter.

Again, thanks Alexei for your generosity, incredible work on this AZ controller really.

Love

I have re-attached preset to the first post and modified the text a bit (transport buttons must be in Mackie mode, Bank switching works when bank buttons are in Mackie mode as well, which tracks and bus are controlled is specified by WAI).

Hi, I know this is an old string but will take a chance this note gets seen.  I'm new to this forum and have just picked up a M-Audio Oxy49 keyboard/controller that I want to configure to work with my CbB DAW. 

Quick question here - the preset you have for the CODE 61 - could that be used as a good starting point preset to then modify as may be required for my Oxygen keyboard?  Just seems to me it could save a lot of configuration if possible.  Thanks if anyone does see this and responds!

With AZ Controller any preset can be used as a starting point, as long as hardware more or less match (f.e. assignment for simple faders can be used for other simple faders or knobs, but not so good for motorized faders or encoders). But probably it it simpler to start with Oxygen preset: http://www.azslow.com/index.php/topic,247.0.html or just follow "Startup preset" (there is video).

Note that in most cases any feedback (handshake, LEDs, displays) have to be programmed explicitly for particular controller.

For buttons watch our the mode set on the controller. There is "momentary" (one message is sent when pressed, another when released) and "toggle" (the message is sent on press only, sometimes one time "on" and one time "off" message). Preset for different button mode will work confusing.
