Rohan - you know the MPC innards better than most anyone. I want to know if an upgrade to support this feature is possible:
Simply put, I want to be able to send channel volume to the MPC 3000 and have the appropriate track volume change.
Example - say I have 4 tracks, 1-4. Each one assigned to a MIDI channel output (1A - 4A). I want to be able to send a volume message to the MPC on MIDI channel 2 and the goal is for the volume on track 2 (and whatever else is mapped to MIDI channel 2) to change.
I understand that the MPC can filter MIDI volume and if it is set to receive, the currently active track is only change, completely ignoring the MIDI channel information.
I also realize that I'm asking the OS to match up incoming MIDI channel messages with MIDI channel assignments to all currently playing tracks.
Alternately, could the soft thru function be made smarter to preserve the MIDI channel information and pass the volume messages through?
If this is all doable, what would be the likelihood of being able to extend the functionality to all MIDI CC info?
The goal is to use
http://sound-on-sound2.infopop.net/2/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=215094572&f=594090574&m=8461083 to control the MPC 3000.
Thanks for any insights.
Tom
