midi commands not used by mackie protocol?

I want to send 3 midi messages to the Mackie input port of a script button.

The 3 midi messages should set 3 variables to change to on or off state.

Obviously, these midi messages should not change any parameter of the DAW.


What is your recommendation?

May I use some channel that Mackie protocol never uses? Program Change? Channel pressure? Sysex?

Thanks!

You should use a channel other than 1, and avoid Pitch Bend.

With those two rules, you stay clear of all Mackie commands and can do whatever you like.

Great!!

Thanks!!!!
