X-Touch mini generic midi map

[Francis1 (Francis)]

Hi All,
Posted this in Mixbus forum, but though some here may find it useful also, guessing it will all work with Ardour.

I have made a new generic midi map for the Behringer x-touch mini, that is compatable with both Mixbus and Mixbus 32c, thanks to forum member (red.plastic.studio) for his original map work which I have taken and modified substaitially.
I needed a portable cheap contoller so took a punt on the Behringer, but the x-touch / MCU protocols are not really functional in Mixbus as it’s stuck on the first bank of 8 channels, and couldn’t find a way to change banks, (my next project when I have time).
So until this can be fixed here is a very useable midi map, which goes in - program files/mixbus(32c)/ardour8/share/midi maps - open an existing midi map in notepad and copy/paste this one in. I have attached the Midi map text below as can’t post .map files, and will attach the key (as is here) in a following comment for download.
Here is the function list as I have it now, Layer A is for filters/compressor and handy functions for editing, Layer B is for EQ and more for mixing functions, this is for pots/push pots/ and buttons 1-8 (top row) Buttons 9-16 are for location and transport.

Hope this is usefull to some of you, makes a great cheap hands on contoller Smile

Pots on Layer B (EQ) Push

1. Low freq - Toggle Eq on/off

2. Low gain - Low on bus - Toggle Low bell/shelf

3. Mid Low freq - Add Track/Bus

4. Mid Low gain - Mid on bus - Move selected tracks up

5. Mid Hi freq - Move selected tracks down

6. Mid Hi gain - Hi on bus - Toggle Meterbridge

7. Hi freq - Snapshot & Switch

8. Hi gain - Toggle Hi bell/shelf

                                          Buttons (1-16)
   

Top row Layer A Layer B

5: Separate selected regions / Toggle VCA
6: Combine selected regions / Mixbusses show/hide
7: Channel/Track left (up)
8: Channel/Track right (down) / - 7 & 8 same on both layers
Bottom row - Transport - both layers
9: return to start
10: Set marker
