28 ## Using MIDI CCs to control jack_mixer
30 MIDI Control Change messages (CCs) can be used to control volume,
31 balance/panorama, mute, and solo of input and output channels.
33 The default controllers for added channels are chosen using a predefined
34 algorithm: the first free controller starting from #11, first for volume, next
35 for balance/panorama, then mute and finally solo.
37 So, if you don't delete channels, CC#11 will control the first channel's
38 volume, CC#12 the balance/panorama, CC#13 the mute and CC#14 the solo switch.
39 CC#15 will control the second channel' volume, CC#16 it's balance/panorama, and
42 It is also possible to set other CCs when creating a channel, or afterwards
43 from the channel properties dialog (accessible from the menu or by double
44 clicking on the channel name).
46 MIDI CC values (0-127) are mapped to dBFS using the current slider scale for
47 the corresponding channel.
