    Default deck focus mapping/qquestions!

    hey guys, im looking into making my own type of midi fighter mapping for my maschine, but i have concluded that the most organized way of having a ton of effects, is to have like a deck focus row like the midi fighter has, a row of buttons where if i press it, it will show me led status that deck "a" for instance is the focus, and when i de select it the led will turn off. are there any indicators within the software that shows which deck is the focus? any help or advice i could get here would be great thanks guys

    the very short answer is you can't easily without extra software.... the slightly longer answer is someone else asked the very same question only about a day or so and we came up with a solution using banks in mashine. the 'search' button is your friend

    pull what off? the changing banks/decks or what it actually does? a lot of it is just mapping multiple items to single buttons - like load fx + enable fx + enable fx unit in mixer etc - so you dont need to press much to get a nice result - hence the name i presume

    the 4 banks mode switching is internal to the midifighter - depending on which top row button is pressed last determines what note values the remaining 3 buttons send out...
