November 25th 2009 at 4:53 pm in I was tinkering with Nekobee today and wanted it to respond to the top two rows of 4 knobs each on my M-Audio X-Session Pro MIDI controller. This, so I can easily tweak the sound using those knobs rather than using the mouse…
I had to use ‘midimon’ to find the correct values and changed the defines in nekobee_synth.h.
After doing this, I found that the Volume knob was not responding correctly (it was not updating while I twisted it, nor did the sound change). I had to mess around in another file as well…
If you also want to be able to use the X-Session Pro mixer controller as a musical instrument: here is the patch.
I was pleasantly surprised to notice that Rosegarden nicely records those tweaks as well, so if I play back my composition, the knobs in the interface turn, too. Nice 
One word of warning though: this patch locks the controls to the X-Session Pro. In the event of other hardware and having changed these mappings again, all your old compositions in your favourite MIDI sequencer shall no longer play back like it sounded before. Keep this in mind…
