Wow. This actually works now. And the rec button too. Awesome! Is it possible to select track too? I have a button under each fader. It could be a mute/unmute butter or a track selector. Wonder if it's doable  Anyways. Thank you for this, really!

Hi Nic, I wasn't very optimistic about this last set of code as it looks the same as last time. But for some reason it now works. Must have been me. Thanks!

Hey jakersaw, well done for getting this rolling. There is also a shift and track forward and back but I don't know if that would work at all?

You can have those buttons map to mute/unmute or solo/unsolo the relevant track - I'd need to know the controller numbers those 8 buttons send. Regards, Nic.

Hi Nic, a placebo? A nice way to say I probably did something wrong! Anyway, I'm very happy because not only does this work but I managed to get Auria to turn loop on by using this command.
# map lx loop to hui loop BX 66 7F = 90 00 7F +C BX 66 7F = B0 0F 0F +D50 +C BX 66 7F = B0 2F 43 +D50 +C
You have taught well master Nic. Of course it won't be long before I'm back when it goes seriously wrong!

Ok I'm off to bed but my final victory, again thanks to Nic, is I've muted the first channel with -
# Mute 0 BX 00 = 90 00 7F +C BX 00 = B0 0F 00 +D50 +C BX 00 = B0 2F 42 +D50 +C

Cool! I was thinking it might be possible to set things up so you can press a fader button (which from your rules above are cc's 0-7?) and toggle mute and hold same button for a bit to toggle solo. I have a busy weekend but maybe I can try this out.
Or we could assign another of the transport buttons as a 'shift' button and you hold down the shift button and the fader buttons toggle solo.
Any preference? Might even be possible to do both... Hmm.
When we're all done I will merge all the rules plus setup instructions and document the complete solution (and send to nektar, haha!)
Regards, Nic.

If those fader buttons are indeed 0-7 then the rules will be able to be more general and compact too.

There is a shift button on the keyboard. Can't get the cc now. But will do later.

In the manual it says (using a DaW) that the first 8 buttons are for mute and you hold the 9th down while pressing the other 8 to solo. Not that we need to do the same thing mind.

Hi fitz, Can you see whether this 'shift' function changes the cc number of the buttons when held? I am almost ready to post a full example using the Stream Byter to do that but if the keyboard does it natively... My new version lets me arm tracks by holding down a track button for a bit and I can also change which group of 8 tracks the faders and buttons operate on. Hope to update you tomorrow my time. Regards, Nic.

Hi fitz and jakersjaw, I'm almost done with my rework of what we have discovered here. I have made up a set of Stream Byter rules that operates like a generic controller to HUI converter (black box) which you then add simple keyboard controller remappings in front of so that it will be dead easy to enable just about any controller with Auria control. I have been testing this with my oxygen49 which is similar to your impact keyboards. The 'black box' (need to give it a better name) allows the control of <<, >>, [ ], > and O transport buttons, track solo/mute/arm, faders and selection of track groups for the faders/solo/mute/arm. Sadly I cannot do pan without writing an app! I mapped the oxygen49 to mute via fader button, solo via shift and record arm with long hold. All seems to be working well enough (although don't recommend that you shift and hold at the same time!) I'm ready to create an impact lx mapping to work with the black box, but a final couple of things about the impact I would like to know, if one of you could send me back the controller numbers that midiwrench reports for the following: - octave buttons (up and down) - fader button 9 (right most) - fader button 0 (left most) - fader button 0 with fader button 9 held down Hope that makes sense. If someone could post back these numbers, I will finish off the LX rules. Also, the 'black box' approach also does away with having to send the MIDI start/stop/continue messages on a separate port. I'm now using HUI messages for those too. Regards, Nic.

Sorry, can't connect the keyboard at the moment but the manual says the buttons are (in order), as button 1 is cc 0 etc.
Button. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9 Cc. 0. 2. 3. 4. 6. 8. 9. 11. 65
Will check the other info when I get the chance but hope that helps for now. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Hi Nic, MIDI Wrench detects no midi input when pressing either Octave up or down. Buttons were as above. The other buttons don't change their values when holding button 9 down. Don't know how they do DAW integration but it's obviously not using midi Cc's. But, there are 7 presets on the keyboard. We've been using preset 1, which is editable, as are another 4 of them. Another 2 presets are read only, and are for Mixer and Instruments.
