CC+ Chroma Mackie C4 Editor

via James R. Complin on the Rhodes Chroma list:

"I've made a set of templates for the Mackie C4 controller for the CC+
interface. It might also work with the ChromaCult interface but I can't
test it since I no longer have one. If it does work (or if it doesn't) with
the ChromaCult interface let me know. It is on the Chroma site at
http://www.rhodeschroma.com/?id=mackieC4 . The page has screen shots of the
5 pages in the editor and some more information. I think it should be
fairly straight-forward. There are 2 files you need. The c4i file is the
sysex specification and parameters for the Chroma. The c4l file is the
template layout file. It contains the labels, pages, etc. If you prefer a
different layout on the C4 then the one I have made, you easily can make a
new layout without having to edit anything in the c4i. Let me know if you
find any errors, have questions, or requests for changes/additions.

Considering the C4 can be had readily for $300-$400 it's a heck of a value
in my opinion. If you are considering getting one, keep in mind that Mackie
support for the product is not officially but realistically at an end.
While it is a great sysex and cc controller, it does not support checksums -
something to keep in mind if you are planning to make editors for your
equip. Enjoy!

James R. Coplin"
