ACT MIDI Controller plug-in

The ACT MIDI Controller plug-in can be configured to support any generic MIDI controller

(controller/surface), such as the JL Cooper FaderMaster, Peavey PC-1600, and Kenton Control

Freak. Generic controllers/surfaces typically have 8-16 strips of faders/knobs/buttons, are non-

motorized, and can often be configured to transmit any MIDI message (continuous controllers,

NRPNs, Sysx, etc.). The ACT MIDI Controller supports ACT.

After you have connected your controller/surface, and selected the ACT MIDI Controller plug-in in

Edit > Preferences > MIDI - Control Surfaces (see “Setting up control surfaces” on page 1140 if

necessary), open the ACT MIDI Controller property page, and select a preset for your controller/

surface (load the default mappings).

To open the ACT MIDI Controller property page

1. In Control Bar’s ACT module, make sure that ACT MIDI Controller appears in the drop-down

menu. If you can’t find it in the drop-down menu, you need to add it in Edit > Preferences > MIDI

- Control Surfaces (see “Setting up control surfaces” on page 1140 if necessary).

2. Click the Open Control Surface Plug-in button in the ACT module. You can also double-

click the WAI display of the ACT MIDI Controller plug-in.
