CMC FD CC implementation

Alright guys, I found a solution!!!

First of all, you need 4 empty MIDI tracks. Set input to “None”, set output to any physical MIDI output (let’s say, “Out A”). Then route a MIDI cable from your physical output A to any physical MIDI input (let’s say, “In B”). Channel numbers for these four tracks from 1 to 4.

Now, activate the Input Transformer, NOT in these first “dummy” MIDI tracks, but in any other, “real” MIDI tracks (that contain your music). Use global mode. Use these settings:

Module 1, top part:
Type equals Controller and
Value 1 (MIDI Controller Number) equals 7 (CMC-FD sends CC7 data all the time) and
Channel (MIDI Controller Channel) equals 1

bottom part:
Value 1 fixed value to CC1 (or whatever CC you want to access by your first CMC-FD fader)

Then do the same with Module 2, but change the Channel value in the top part to 2 and change Value 1 in the bottom part for the respective CC you want to access by fader 2.

Same for Modules 3 and 4.

Now for all your “actual” MIDI channels that contain your music,

  • make sure you activate the Input Transformer for ALL of them,
  • make sure the input is set to “All MIDI inputs”,
  • make sure (obviously) the output is NOT set to “Out A”, or you will get a MIDI feedback.

VOILA! :slight_smile:
