Title: MackieControl.dll for 4 hardware controllers FaderPort and StreamDeck
Post by: freddie_tane on September 18, 2026, 01:22:30 PM
hi Alexy -

Cross-posted to Cakewalk Forum same question - figured you're more likely to see on your own .com forum!

hi azslow3 -

Would it be possible for you to build 4x  instances of MackieControl.dll  so that I can have all my hardware control surfaces in sync with the computer keyboard?

2 FaderPort 8

2 StreamDeck

As you mentioned in a previous post, too -- "So, you want 4x Mackie"

Yes, Please !! And many many thanks if you could build 4 instance version - would show as 4 separate under Utilities, right?

Awaiting your reply with great anticipation

hi AZSlow -
Certainly understandable - you have many threads going, no worries, I know it's a Pretty Big Request.

You had provided a single replacement recompiled MackieControl.dll that handled the FaderPort and SpaceBar transport correctly in sync.

(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AZSlow3/Cakewalk-Control-Surface-SDK/alt_play/Bin/x64/MackieControl.dll)

And you indicated that for multiple (for me, 4) hardware devices to have the same functionality, would need (4) instances of MackieControl.dll

Is it possible you would be able to do provide the (4) instances ?

Yes, just have to recompile it 3 additional times with different IDs and name  :)

hi AZSlow -

That sounds very encouraging -

AZSlow hasn't pushed his fix to github, so I don't have access to it.

I will reply on the forum as well, but that is not a fix... it is a hack which you have asked for :)

BTW. I have compiled all 4 DLLs, the installation is with command-line regsvr32 or first installing Mark's DLLs and then replacing them with these.
