If you like to control the STM Mixer with midi cc - look her

[mikecw]

Hello

I write a litte program with AHK (AutoHotkey) to make my life a little bit easier.
Here some infos:
; Program (windows only) to control the SFP Mixer with Midi CC
; Written with AutoHotKey and compiled (executable)
; The used hotkeys are shift+ctrl and UP/DOWN/LEFT/RIGHT
; shift+ctrl and LEFT decrement the CC#
; shift+ctrl and RIGHT increment the CC#
; shift+ctrl and DOWN decrement the value
; shift+ctrl and UP increment the value
; I use it only for the Volume Fader (STM2448)
; You have to assign the Midi CC with the SFP 'MIDI Ctrl Assignment'
; In the MixerVolume.ini you can make some changes
; You can give every CC a name and a start value.
; With lsmidiouts.exe you can see the available midiouts beginning from 0 to x
; Also you have to change the MIDIDEVICE entry in the MixerVolume.ini
; The lsmidiouts.exe is include in the midi-utilities from http://public.sreal.com:8000/~div/midi-utilities/
; You can download the hole package of the midi-utilities or use the exe from the archive.
; In the archive are the following files:
; MixerVolume.ahk, MixerVolume.exe, MixerVolume.ini, lsmidiouts.exe
; Use it at your own risk and have fun
; If you dont trust the compiled AHK file you can download the AHK compiler and compile it by yourself.

Download and extract the archive in a directory e.g. C:\MixerVolume
Execute lsmidiouts.exe and find the device number of a free Creamware MIDI In/Out
Change the entry in the MixerVolume.ini under [MISC] MIDIDEVICE from 12 to your device number.
Assign some CC (1-24) to the STMx and execute MidiVolume.exe and play with the hotkeys.

I am confused about what this does. Could you elaborate on how you use this and what it does?

Thanks.

One simple example:
When I want to change the volume fader from my SFP-Mixer (STM-xxxx) I have to use a Midi-Fader-Box or a device that can send CC to my STM-xxxx.
Another way is to take the mouse and find the mixer window and klick on the fader and move the mouse.

With my little program I only have to press the ctrl+shift+ cursor up/down to move the fader of the STM-xxxx. In the default configuration it starts with cc#12 aktive. To change the cc# press ctrl+shift+ cursor left/right. You see a little tooltip in the left top corner.
Also you have to assign some cc# to your mixer fader.

I hope it is a little bit clearer and you can understand my simple (german) english.
If not please ask again.
